A major new care home
A former church on Lincoln High Street will be turned into elderly living accommodation as part of a large new care home.It is the second part of a major new facility from Torsion Care, with 73 en-suite rooms already given the go ahead.The new care home is near the South Park roundabout and will be accessed off Cross Spencer Street.The first application narrowly passed the City of Lincoln Council’s planning committee last April, with concerns about the width of the access road.
Speaking about the first application last year, Councillor Bob Hewson said: “This facility is definitely needed. It’s the ideal site as a brownfield area, and could create an attractive entrance into the city.” Chris Burns, speaking for Torsion Care, told the previous meeting: “There is a huge undersupply of care beds in Lincoln. Facilities like these are desperately needed, and would relieve strain on the NHS.
