Retirement flats have been allocated for disused land off Inverkip Main Street under plans prepared by Nicholson McShane Architects for Homedream.

Split across three separate blocks, each set back from the road, the two and three-storey building will include lift access to all apartments, at least 5% of which will be wheelchair accessible.

In a planning statement, the architects wrote: "The proposal will potentially provide a valuable contribution to Inverclyde Council's desire to promote town-centre based residential accommodation for older people and those with mobility issues, helping alleviate the pressure to release ground outwith the settlement boundary."

Set within a conservation area the building will include low-waste technologies as part of a commitment to achieve a silver standard for energy use.
