Applicant Churchill Living has put forward proposals to demolish the vacant Tesco Metro store in Farrell Close and build a new four-storey retirement complex.
The supermarket closed down in April last year – with a nearby Tesco Express store opening in its place in Cricklade Street.
Plans for the retirement complex were revealed by the Standard in April this year and we now learn that following Churchill’s purchase of the site in May a planning application was submitted to Cotswold District Council on August 21. This includes creating 69 retirement apartments with communal facilities, car parking and landscaping. According to the application, the estimated total construction cost is £13 million.
