Plans lodged for new care home in Gedling
Jan 15, 2026
Plans lodged for new care home in Gedling Senior living developer Charterpoint has submitted a planning application to build a new 80-bed care home in Gedling. The proposals are for a modern three-storey building on land off Lambley Lane which has recently been used as a building site compound by the developer delivering the housing development at Gedling Quarter. This site has been identified for residential use within Gedling Borough Council’s Local Plan. The care home plans include 80 ensuite bedrooms, along with lounges, dining areas, activity and hobby rooms, a café, and a hairdresser. Access would be via an improved existing access off Lambley Lane. Charterpoint CEO Adrian Goose said: “As a site that has been allocated for residential use within Gedling Borough Council’s Local Plan, this plot is in an ideal position for a care home. “Our research suggests that a new, modern, purpose-built care home in Gedling would be an asset to the local community – providing high quality and necessary accommodation for seniors and also helping to free up homes in the area for families. “With a strong track record of developing attractive care homes across the East Midlands and further afield, Charterpoint is very pleased to have submitted plans to Gedling Borough Council for our latest proposed scheme in Nottinghamshire.”
