Plans emerge to flatten Lutterworth medical supply store to make way for 75-bed care home
A former medical supplies building could be flattened to make way for a brand new 75-bed care home.
Applicant Barcroft Estates has eyed up the scheme for the former CUI International medical supplies building, known as Caldow House, in Crescent Road, Lutterworth.
If approved, the care home will provide specialist, dementia care, residential care, respite care, and “an environment that will fully meet a modern, dynamic care environment”.
A café, cinema, hairdressers, lounges and dining areas are also proposed.
Documents submitted to Harborough District Council note that all of the bedrooms will include an en-suite wet room bathroom “designed for safety and accessibility”. All floors will also include “assisted bathrooms, lounges, dining rooms and flexible day rooms”.
The care home will be capable of providing nursing, residential and dementia care to residents, documents state. The application’s design statement notes the care home will be “flexible in terms of layout, to provide areas where residents can be isolated, should this be required”.
Barcroft Estates said the main entrance to the facility is located off a dedicated car parking area providing 33 parking spaces.
The site, which is currently described as being “outdated and in disrepair and only partially occupied”, has prominent frontage onto and access from Crescent Road. Documents submitted as part of the plan say the current building houses “single and two-storey office and industrial buildings, with parking and hardstanding areas to the front and side boundaries”.
Consultation on the plans is open until Thursday, December 4. A decision is due to be made by the council by Monday, February 2, 2026.
