The houses in the background are on Roddam Close. The land in between is the subject of a planning application for what is described as an 'ageing well village'. This comprises homes for those in later life as well as care facilities and a 'wellbeing hub' including a hydrotherapy pool, restaurant, hair salon, small shop, and therapy rooms. There would also be an 'integrated frailty hub', for those needing extra care, and a children's nursery. In all, it is claimed that almost 200 jobs would be created.
