Telford Alzheimers and respite centre plans being reconsidered after objections
Plans for a specialist Alzheimer’s day and respite care centre in Telford are being reconsidered after objections were raised.
The Priory Nursing Home, in Wellington, proposed to build a new two-storey building with care facilities on the ground floor and respite care facilities on the first floor, in the form of six en-suite bedrooms and bathrooms.
Joanne Cornwell, Telford & Wrekin Council’s housing strategy and commissioning programme manager supported the plan.
She said the building would provide ‘very much needed’ EMI (elderly mentally infirm) respite and a seven-day day centre facility.
The 19th century Priory building, formerly Spring Hill House, is located within the grounds of The Priory Nursing Home.
A heritage statement submitted with the plans argued that there would be ‘no harmful impact’ on the registered building of local interest.
