Ellesmere Port Apartment Complex Gets Go-ahead

Ten affordable rent one-bed apartments to help people into independent living have been granted planning permission in Ellesmere Port town centre.

Magenta Living, who is behind the project, says the development will help adults with low-level mental health problems into independent living. No objections were raised to the application.

The development will be constructed on the pay and display car park on the opposite side of McGarva Way to the now demolished EPIC leisure centre. The large landscaped area close to the junction with Stanney Lane will become a communal garden for the residents.

Planning officers point out that the site is well connected to existing services, amenities, and a range of transport links. They believe the scheme respects the local character of the area and achieves a "sense of place" through appropriate layout and design.

Highways officers felt there would be less traffic and congestion that the previous use as a car park. The loss of the car park, provided only to benefit the EPIC, was not considered to be detrimental to the town centre.

Magenta is working in partnership with the borough council and the project is part-funded by the Department of Health.
