The development is an extension to the existing Audley Chalfont Dene retirement village on a site adjacent Chesham Lane, Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire.
The development comprised of 58 retirement village units in a mixture of apartments and cottages over several blocks these being complement by various facilities buildings, accessed via a shared permeable road with the adjacent Porthaven Woodland Manor care home.
The scheme was constructed from a timber framed structural solution and benefited from a mixture of brickwork, blockwork with applied render along with elements of rainscreen cladding wrapping the structure several large false chimney stacks were also included, all of which made the scheme visually pleasing and highly desirable.
The development includes the provision of a fully serviced site, with bulk metering/submetering facilities.
A fire mains services and hydrant installation assists with our compliance under part B of the building regs, these are complemented, with a high specification & technical IT and coms specification which ensures this final phase not only is integrated with the earlier phases but also links to the offsite managements teams who then have the ability to fully integrate the system along with the ability to raise service billing remotely.
The development also contained a steel framed community building which is accessible both to Audley residents and to the wider Chalfont St Peter community, and an appropriate number of car parking spaces to serve both residents and visitors.
A carefully considered landscape scheme and tree planting schedule covering a site area of approx. 5-6 acres has integrated the development with the existing village and the surroundings early phases leaving what is a very high-end residential village.
