The construction of a 40 bed sheltered scheme with communal and day care facilities. 

This was the first scheme in the country to use a new hollowcore planking system which removes the need for cambering, improves accuracy so allows speedier construction and better performance in use.

The scheme was value-engineered to include triple-glazed argon-filled aluminium clad windows, cavity wall insulation, loft insulation and under-floor heating.   This ensured that the building is energy efficient and cost effective to run.

This scheme is part of a series of developments for Housing 21 under a strategic partnering relationship.
