This new development for our long-standing healthcare partner showcases their commitment to reducing fossil fuel usage with this full electric extra care development.
The project was the third development undertaken with Housing 21 and strengthens our commitment to the retirement living sector.
The extra care scheme accommodates 70 affordable apartments comprising 20 one-bedroom apartments and 50 two-bedroom apartments for those aged 55 years or over.
Thirty of the two-bedroom apartments are dedicated for social rent, with the remainder available for shared-ownership.
The residential development site comprises a 3-storey building that has accommodation split across all three floors and the main communal areas located on the Ground Floor. These communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, a café/bistro and communal gardens. The café/bistro and an on-site hair salon will also be available for use by the wider local community.
The new building design has focussed on removing gas boilers from the development, instead relying on panel heaters and natural air ventilation systems. Built to new Part-L regulations, this project is forecast to be above and beyond building regulations based on current SAP calculations
This is a new design that we have assisted Housing 21 in developing and bringing to site. It ties in with our Zero Carbon agenda and by utilising the expertise of our Design Management team and energy consultants we have provided a low-carbon assessment across the entire build.
