The £11 million scheme is intended to cultivate a village ambience and ensure that a community spirit is nurtured.

Contractors Limited is developing the
project, which has been designed by Lovell Ozanne & Partners Ltd. Works began in January 2011 and the development will be completed in early 2012. The site has been under the foremanship of Jeff Russ, who has ably marshalled his merry band of tradesmen for the last twelve months in cohorts with NSJ Contract Management Limited, a local firm of Chartered Surveyors and Chartered Building Consultants who have acted as Project and Contract Managers for the development.
NSJ Contract Management has provided a management service to ensure that the building fabric is constructed in accordance with agreed drawings. The company advises upon matters on Contract documentation, financial payments and
programme whilst acting on behalf of the client to achieve a successful completion by way of: advising upon initial costing, attending regular meetings on site and issue of minutes for client information. In addition, they complete regular inspections of the works, checking and submitting recommendation for payment of interim and final accounts. The homes have incorporated a traditional design in order to remain sympathetic to the existing surroundings. They feature pitched roofs over rendered elevations, along with detailing around the windows to create a pleasing courtyard development. All properties have fitted kitchens and carry a ten year insurance backed structural guarantee. The scheme is subject to a development brief, which has adopted a 20% increase in thermal efficiency to the Jersey bye-laws. This has been achieved by ensuring a good quality specification in terms of the cavity construction and insulation standards.
Each of the houses for the over fifty-fives has a disabled-friendly bathroom featuring a walk in
