Driven by care operator Simply UK, the project will meet an identified need for specialist nursing care in the west of Dundee.

The architects wrote: “The proposed floor plan is centralised around a principle central core. Two accommodation wings running west to south are located to either side and a shorter back of the house wing running east. The core accommodates the key communal facilities and vertical circulation and provides access to the proposed car park and the secure landscaped area to the south.”
