Brewster Bye Architects unveil three major retirement schemes
One of the UK’s leading providers of extra care and retirement living developments, Housing 21, and Leeds based Brewster Bye Architects are working on three major schemes that will create almost 200 homes for local people over the age of 55. Principal contractor Esh Construction is due to complete work in the coming weeks on a £7.5m, 60-home development on Highfi eld Road in Askern near Doncaster, which Housing 21 has developed in partnership with Doncaster Council and Askern Town Council. Known as Askern Vale Court, the development offers 58 one and two bedroom apartments within a three storey building complete with communal facilities, landscaped gardens and dedicated parking area, as well as two bungalows. All the homes are available for affordable rent. Work is also due to start this summer on an extra care scheme at Cleckheaton that will provide 80 rental apartments for over 55s, who have a connection to the local area. Developed in partnership with Kirklees Council, the scheme is designed to promote independent living in a community setting – a care team will be on-site 24 hours a day to deliver planned care packages to residents if needed. Facilities will include an activity room, communal lounge and gardens. An onsite hair salon and cafe for residents will also be open to the public.
Earlier this year, work started on another retirement living development consisting of 57 apartments on the site of a disused mill at Compton, near Leek in Staffordshire. The part two, three, four and fi ve-storey development will include associated ancillary spaces, gardens and parking. It is being constructed by Tricas Construction for Collaborate Living and Housing 21. Housing 21 is a leading provider of retirement and extra care living for older people of modest means. The not-for-profi t organisation operates in over 240 local authority areas across England, managing over 22,800 retirement living and extra care properties and providing over 38,000 hours of social care each week.
