Castleoak has secured planning permission for its tenth care home, which will be developed for Care UK and Suffolk county council.
The developer has got approval from St Edmundsbury borough council for a 80-bed care home to replace the existing Glastonbury court care home in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
It is the tenth property Castleoak has secured planning consent for as part of a Suffolk care home reprovisioning programme for Care UK and Suffolk county council.
Chris Hopkinson, Care UK regional operations director, said: “Ten out of ten planning approvals have now been achieved and these will directly meet Suffolk’s demand for a better provision of specialist nursing, residential and day care services.”
Construction has been underway on eight of the new care homes since 2013, and six will open this year.
Castleoak will start construction of the new Glastonbury court development in September. The opening is scheduled for November 2015.
