Mark Wright, Regional Managing Director at McCarthy and Stone, said: “It is important that a community meets the housing needs of all its residents.
“These Retirement Living apartments would help to meet a growing housing need, providing specialist accommodation as part of the Hampton Urban Extension which promotes active, healthy lifestyles, with care and support on hand as required.
“The development would also deliver a number of economic benefits for the area, supporting local businesses and creating new jobs both during construction and once the scheme is up and running.

Mr Wright said the development would create a number of jobs in the area during construction, and when it is up and running.
All the apartments are adaptable for wheelchair use, and include a homeowners’ lounge, a refuse room, lifts, a camera entry system linked to residents’ TVs and a guest suite allowing friends and relatives to stay overnight.
