New 70-bed care home specialising in dementia care planned in Peterborough village

Plans for a new 70-bed care home, which would specialise in dementia care, in Eye Green have been submitted.

The application submitted by Pearson Anderson Limited and HSSP Architects Limited has identified a 1.16-acre site to the rear of numbers 7 and 9 Eye Green for the development. The land is currently used for agricultural purposes.

The building itself would be two storeys and made up of three wings to form a C shape, enclosing an internal courtyard.

The northern wing could include a kitchen, salon, cafe, staff office and residential accommodation on the first-floor level.

The central and southern wings consist of the remaining residential accommodation, including bedrooms, lounges and dining areas.

Each floor would have its own fire protected staircase, with a 13-person lift adjacent to reception, a dumb- waiter adjacent to the kitchen and an 8-person lift to the south.
