As part of the continued regeneration of The Cornhill Quarter in Lincoln, Lincolnshire Co-op are bringing forward proposals for the next phase of its development.
Having established a vibrant leisure and retail environment in this area of the city, they are now seeking to bring further investment through the addition of both residential and hotel accommodation at the site.
McCarthy Stone, the UK’s leading developer and manager of independent retirement living communities, is bringing forward proposals for a flagship development at the City Square Centre site on Sincil Street and Waterside South, combining specialist retirement accommodation with leisure facilities available to both its residents and the wider community.
McCarthy Stone strives to create healthier and happier lives through its retirement communities, enabling older people to maintain their independence for longer.
A McCarthy Stone development in The Cornhill Quarter would have a long-term positive impact on the local economy through the purchasing power of its residents, supporting the recovery of the high street post-pandemic. The specialist apartments would help to provide wider accommodation options for local older people and release family homes onto the local housing market.
Adjacent to the McCarthy Stone development, on Melville Street, Lincolnshire Co-op is proposing to develop the site for a hotel with around 150 bedrooms, supporting and enhancing the city’s role as a key destination for tourism.
As identified by the Consultation Draft Local Plan (2021), Lincoln continues to attract increasing numbers of visitors, and hotels in the city are already frequently full and forced to turn business away.
Both McCarthy Stone and Lincolnshire Co-op are committed to engaging the community on these proposals and have commenced a pre-application consultation programme. Because of the ongoing impacts of Covid-19, the consultation programme is being undertaken in digital and postal format.
The aim is to inform and receive feedback from local people, businesses and interest groups. Built Environment Communications Group (BECG) is working with us to assist in the consultation process.
The virtual consultation can be accessed here: thecornhillquarter.consultationonline.co.uk and will be open from Wednesday 15th December 2021 until Monday 10th January 2022.
If you would like to discuss these proposals in more detail, please contact the developers via the project’s information line on 0800 298 7040 or email at feedback@consultation-online.co.uk to arrange a virtual meeting.
