Care home planned for former Club7 site
PLANS have been unveiled to build a care home on the site of a former pub- but have already been labelled as a missed opportunity.
The future of the former Anchor site in Station Road, Yiewsley, is considered one of the most important issues to affect the area, which is in need of re-generation.
A planning application has been lodged with Hillingdon Council, to build 49 new flats, as part of a care home, which will also have a retail unit underneath.
Computerised images are available of how the flats would look, which can give the public a chance to visualise the plans.
Gay Brown, of Otterfield Road, Yiewsley, said: "This is a totally inappropriate place to put a nursing home.
"The plans are to demolish the existing building, but I can't see how they can demolish something which is already demolished.
"The site would be perfect to link the two town centre's of Yiewsley and West Drayton.
"We need a meeting place and we do not have that, it would be perfect, I will be objecting to the proposals."
The site is currently vacant after the Club7 pub closed, and after it caught fire in May earlier this year, it was largely demolished and currently creates a huge eyesore in a key location in town.

I think its a brilliant idea to build a care home on the former site of Club UB7 (Bentleys). It is a good location for the elderley. They will be close to shops, the canal for an afternoon stroll and many bus routes and the overground Trains. All this should help the elderley residents to enjoy a better class of life and stay active. Reducing their chances of feeling isolated and alone.
You cannot be serious? We are going to house Alzeimers patients near a canal for the possibililty of drowning, a Garden roof for the possibility of suicide or a main road to get knocked over on. - What could possibly go wrong???
This application was listed as one of the items for the Central and South Planning Meeting last night but was withdrawn at the last minute. The reccomendation by the officers was for refusal but that is not to say that it will not return at a later date.
i think it is a good idea but it should be a mcadonalds because they will make lot's more money than a care home and pluss it shouldn't be a care home because there is lot's of more flat's. if it is a mcadonalds they would have people coming in the morning's on there way to work/school and for dinner and after school time finishes. if you dont build a mcadonalds we would have to travel to sipson and for us it is far.
