PROPOSALS to build almost 30 retirement flats on a disused site in Inverkip are being considered by council planners.
Developer Homedream Ltd is seeking planning permission in principle for 28 flats and associated car parking at an area of vacant land at the corner of Main Street and Langhouse Road in the village.
Application documents outline plans for three discrete blocks which vary between two and three storeys in height and off-street parking at the site.
They state developers intend for all of the flats to be served by passenger lifts and that a proportion of the flatrs will be wheelchair accessible in line with guidance.
A supporting statement from Nicholson McShane Architects states: "The proposal will potentially provide a valuable contribution to Inverclyde Council's desire to promote town-centre based residential accommodation for older people and those with mobility issues, helping alleviate the pressure to release ground outwith the settlement boundary."
