Anchor secures planning for 100% affordable extra care scheme in the Newham, east London


A


nchor, with the support of architect PRP, has secured planning permission for a major extension to Cardamom Court in


the London Borough of Newham, delivering 37 much needed new affordable extra care apartments for older people. Te scheme will increase the existing 1990s


development to 70 homes, all of which will be 100% affordable. Working together, Anchor, England’s largest not-for-profit provider of housing and care for people in later life, and award winning architects PRP, have designed a four- storey extension to replace an existing day centre to provide 37 new extra care homes alongside improved communal facilities and outdoor spaces for all residents. All the new apartments are ‘dual aspect’ with


private balconies or terraces and meet London Plan space standards, with 10% designed as wheelchair accessible homes. A primary concept for the extension was to


engage with the existing community, to make new facilities that benefit everyone on the site. Te


scheme includes a new entrance opening onto a landscaped courtyard garden, with communal spaces that encourage social interaction. All new apartments exceed current space standards and are designed to serve as long-term homes for residents, with accessible kitchens and level-access bathrooms.


New outdoor spaces will include a communal courtyard garden and roof terrace, as well as pathways around the site leading to a south facing garden. Te scheme achieves biodiversity net gain through careful planting and includes a green roof integrated with photovoltaic panels.
