Seniors housing developers compete for Global Award

trophyNEW YORK: The five hundred and eighth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.

Long-awaited plans for converting a former city college into an artists’ haven and housing for older people have been backed by councillors.

The south planning committee approved the proposal for the old Midmills College despite a lengthy debate in which some members warned of access and parking problems.

The former campus will become a mix of studio space and sheltered and affordable housing in the affluent Crown area of the Inverness. It is a joint venture between the council, the Workshop and Artists’ Studio Provision (Wasps) and retirement home developer McCarthy and Stone.
