Montpelier Estates has been successful in its application for planning permission to build an 85-bed care home at Peel L&P’s Trafford Waters site, which sits within TraffordCity, near to the Manchester Ship Canal and The Trafford Centre.

The scheme will offer tailored dementia care and elderly living with a range of on-site facilities including an on-site bistro café, hair salon, cinema and rooftop garden. There will also be space for community events, relaxation and exercise for future residents to enjoy. Several parts of the facility will also be open to the wider public to encourage further interaction and community building.

Anna Ciesielska, Director of Montpelier Estates said: “We are very pleased with the planning decision to approve our bespoke residential and nursing care scheme at Trafford Waters. We are proud be working in partnership with Peel L&P to deliver this high-quality, much-needed, specialist home for the local community.

“We understand that a decision to move to a care home is difficult for residents and their families. That’s why our developments are highly focused on creating spaces where people really want to spend their time and live, where they feel reassured, empowered, cared for, while allowing them to remain independent with good links to the community and local facilities.”

The homes will be some of the first 350 to be built at Trafford Waters. Montpelier’s plans are part of the first phase of Trafford Waters.

James Whittaker, Executive Director of Development at Peel L&P added: “It’s great to continue working in partnership with Montpellier Estates to bring their excellent offering to Trafford Waters. Not only will we be creating much needed new homes with exemplary care facilities, but the impact it will have on our wider community through the creation of new, highly skilled jobs, access to new green spaces and improved wellbeing on the waterside is something we’re really proud to be delivering.”
