Local Need and Benefits

Lincoln has an ageing population and developing this site with specialist retirement accommodation will help to address a local need for specialist housing for older people.

McCarthy Stone developments have a positive impact on the local economy as they are typically located on or close to high streets and local centres, as is the case with the proposed development in The Cornhill Quarter. This ensures that residents have easy access to local shops and services.

This spending by older people can help maintain local outlets from cafes, to restaurants and pubs – in other words the shops and community spaces which make up the heart of local communities.
