PLANS have been lodged for a new mixed-use development on Edinburgh Road in Linlithgow which include a 60-bedroom care home and 18 apartments for private sale.
The proposals have been developed by Morrison Community Care (CCG) Holdco Ltd, a joint venture company comprising care developer Morrison Community Care Group and contractor CCG (Scotland).
Designed in partnership with Holmes Miller Architects, residential, nursing and dementia care services will be available to residents over the age of 65 alongside amenities such as en-suite bedrooms, dining areas, a hair salon, visitor’s cafe and cinema.
The 18, two-bedroom apartments will be brought to the market by CCG’s private housing brand, CCG Homes.
Morison Community Care MD Paul Sokhi said, “Morrison Community Care is passionate about providing the very highest standard of living and service possible and I am delighted to see our proposals have been submitted for this unique development. A high percentage of Linlithgow’s population are over the age of 65 so our care home will go a long way to supporting localised demand for care services as well as creating up to 100 jobs.
“After recently commencing construction on our first care home in the region earlier this summer in Almondside, our innovative joint venture company, if granted approval, will have delivered over 120, much-needed beds in West Lothian by mid-2025. That would a fantastic achievement and one which we hope will be realised as a result of this planning submission.”
David Wylie, CCG (Scotland) MD added, “Morrison Community Care and CCG are continuing to make positive strides forward in the support of Scotland’s Care sector. With four completed developments, two under construction and a further five due to commence in 2024, we (at CCG) are proud to be bringing our diverse divisional expertise to the care sector and supporting MCCG in the delivery of high-quality care homes across the breadth of the country.
“The unique aspect to Edinburgh Road is the introduction of homes for sale which will be led by our CCG Homes brand. I am in no doubt these apartments will be in high demand given Linlithgow’s popularity and the close proximity of amenities and transport links. It’s an exciting development for the town and one which we will aim to launch around mid-2024.”
