An application to extend the residential carehome at Brockhampton Court, to provide new nurses accommodation and sheltered housing units will be considered by Herefordshire Council planning Committee on October 17th.

The nursing home at Brockhampton Court is a long established business operating from the Grade II listed building. Planning permission, and listed building consent, is sought for an extension containing 23 bedrooms with en-suite facilities, detached nurses' accommodation and three sheltered housing units within the grounds which are located within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The extension will be linked to the existing building by a two-storey structural glass link. The facilities on the ground floor comprise a lounge, hydrotherapy suite, laundry room, sluice room, bathroom and nurses' station. The first floor affords access to a proposed roof terrace, situated over the lounge and hydrotherapy pool, which is designed to provide rehabilitation for stroke and post-operative joint-replacement patients. The rising ground to the north permits direct access from the roof terrace to the existing footpath network across the site.
