Plans to convert an all-weather pitch in Beverley into a sheltered housing scheme yesterday went on display to the public.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council intends to submit planning applications to develop a part grant-funded “extra care” sheltered housing scheme on the current all-weather pitch on Queens Road with a new five-a-side games area being created on Burden Road.
Extra care sheltered housing is specialist housing for older people which has support and care provided on-site.
The scheme, which has the backing of the Woodmansey and Minster and St Mary’s ward councillors, will create 40 two-bedroomed self-contained apartments, along with communal facilities such as a resident’s lounge, kitchen and treatment rooms.
The new five-a-side games area will be a high specification facility which will be built in line with the requirements of Sport England near to the Mudhills area on Burden Road.
Residents living in the Swinemoor area were invited to attend Samman Road day centre yesterday, Thursday, April 18 between to view the plans and computer-generated images of the proposed developments
