The Latest Update about new independent living apartments at Burnham Road
The aim of this page is to let you know what is happening to the old Burnham House Residential care site. The development of Burnham House will form part of our neighbourhood plan.  We have a dedicated representative who is participating in a working party that aims to explore ways to re-develop this site into a facility that will best benefit the people of Malmesbury.  We will regularly update this page with minutes of all the working party meetings.

Here is a video that describes a

Who made the decision to re-develop the site into an Extra Care facility?
This decision was made by the Malmesbury Area Board.  The community was fully consulted and gave overwhelming support to the idea of re-developing the site into an Extra Care facility.

What exactly is going to happen to the Burnham house site?
I am delighted to tell you that Cllr John Thomson and I attended a Burnham House re-development group meeting on the 10th of February 2011.  John confirmed that Wiltshire Council will go ahead with the conversion of the old Burnham House care home site into up to 50 “Extra Care” apartments. We have a working party made up of local residents. Residents will be fully consulted at each stage of the planning and construction process. We will make sure to listen carefully to their concerns about parking, housing density, and issues for residents living near the site, quality and affordability of each apartment. We are determined that this fantastic opportunity will enhance and prolong the independence of local elderly residents.  Please also note that these dwellings form part of our Core Strategy housing requirement of 270 houses.
