Welcome

Welcome to our website which aims to provide you with information on McCarthy & Stone’s exciting vision to redevelop land at Wimborne Market with a unique, exemplary Continuing Care Retirement Community.

February 2021 Update

McCarthy & Stone, the UK’s leading developer and manager of retirement communities, is pleased to confirm that it has now submitted plans for the redevelopment of Wimborne Market with a flagship Continuing Care Community.

As part of our commitment to community engagement, McCarthy & Stone has conducted extensive pre-application consultation, to ensure the local community were provided with the opportunity to provide feedback on our plans at an early design stage.

Therefore, 2000 local residents and businesses were invited to view a virtual public consultation that was held in September 2020. A second consultation was held in October 2020 for neighbouring residents, and all those that registered an interest in the first round consultation. McCarthy & Stone will continue to listen to the views of all local residents with regard to its proposals post-submission.

Further details about our submitted plans can be found here.

The plans have now been submitted to Dorset Council and will be determined by this authority in the coming months. You can view the submitted plans via the Council’s website, using the reference number: 3/20/2172/FUL.
