Plans to transform a former military camp in the Lake District into a vibrant community are nearing approval. FN Solutions’ proposal includes 50 homes, 8 holiday lets, and a communal hub at Wellbank in Bootle.
The emphasis is on accessibility, with 12 affordable properties and units designed to accommodate both disabled and non-disabled guests.
Previous plans for a hotel have evolved into a more inclusive approach, catering to a specific tourist demographic.
Despite earlier setbacks in securing a hotel operator, the project now aims to meet the demand for fully accessible holiday units, tailored to those with medical disabilities.
This shift reflects a responsive approach to the evolving needs of tourists and residents alike.
The proposed development aligns with the ethos of the Lake District National Park Authority, fostering inclusivity and community engagement.
With plans set for approval in early April, the vision of a welcoming and accessible destination in the heart of the Lake District is one step closer to reality.
