Flatted Development in Motherwell


Block Architects lodge planning permission for 22 flats within the Mothwell Area.
The Client has asked that each of the 1 and 2 bedroom flats have access provided via a lift hence allowing the elderly market to tap into this resource.
The site benefits from being in an area where many local small shopping facilities have been created which are in short walking distance.

  1. I agree with Lydia, you're really getting the hang of this, one of our star pupils.

    Congratulations on the development, looks good and interesting that the developer is targeting the older buyer, is this a developing trend?

  2. Not sure if it is a developing trend but it is certainly interesting. EU policy is infiltrating the building control regulations which means that new builds are more and more being designed for partially able people including physically disabled or the elderly. On this basis it seems logical that more properties will be designed for the elderly in particular. Also with an increase in elderly population I would consider that Council's will soon be generating policies encouraging housing for the elderly similar to that of affordable homes policies.
