new care home development at Meadbank Nursing Home
Wandsworth Council has approved plans for a new care home development at Meadbank Nursing Home, despite concerns over its scale.
Wandsworth Council's Planning Applications Committee approved plans in April 2026 for a new care home development at Meadbank Nursing Home. The project involves demolishing the existing facility at 12 Parkgate Road, SW11 4NN, to construct a part four, five, and seven-storey building. This new facility is designed to provide up to 139 care beds and suites, along with communal and wellness facilities.
The approval was granted despite significant concerns raised by councillors and residents regarding the proposed development's scale, massing, and its potential impact on neighbouring amenity. These concerns were discussed during the meeting where the decision was made.
