BSP Consulting has been appointed as the civil and structural engineer on new retirement apartments planned for Ruddington in Nottinghamshire.
Work is due to start this summer on the Churchill Retirement Living scheme which will create 43 new retirement apartments at Manor Park.
The new development will provide attractive, high quality, secure and self-contained accommodation in landscaped grounds.
As with all Churchill Retirement Living developments, owners will enjoy independent living and a sense of community, with the benefits of a communal owners’ lounge, a guest suite, a lodge manager, and a 24-hour emergency call alarm service.
It will create a thriving new community close to the heart of town, just a short walk from the local shops, amenities, leisure facilities and public transport links.
BSP Consulting associate Monika Anszperger said: “BSP is delighted to have been appointed on this scheme to create new retirement apartments planned for Ruddington. We’re looking forward to work starting on site very shortly.
“Engineers at BSP Consulting have worked on a number of retirement living developments across the East Midlands and further afield, and we are very pleased to be working with Churchill Retirement Living on this scheme.”
Stuart Goodwill, Managing Director of Churchill Retirement Living’s in-house Planning consultancy, said: “Retirement housing is the most effective way of generating local economic growth, local jobs, and increasing high street spend as we look to recover from the pandemic.
We are grateful of the support of the Local Planning Authority officers and councillors in supporting our proposals for this new development which will help improve the health and wellbeing of those who live there, creating a vibrant new community in the heart of town, and meeting the housing needs of many older people in Ruddington and the surrounding area.”
Retirement living
Delivery of the new retirement apartments will meet existing and future need in the area and will provide a number of key benefits to Ruddington and the surrounding area, including supporting local jobs during and after construction, providing a boost to the local economy by encouraging residents to shop locally, allowing older people to downsize and free up under-occupied homes, and providing older people with safety, security and companionship.
Churchill Retirement Living specialises in developing purpose built apartments designed specifically to meet the needs of older people, enabling them to enjoy an active, independent and sociable lifestyle in their retirement.
Its self-contained apartments are provided for sale within a single block and sold with a lease containing an age restriction which ensures that only people of 60 years or over, or those over this age with a partner of at least 55, can live in them.
With over 160 developments located throughout the country, Churchill Retirement Living is an award-winning, family run British company, voted WhatHouse? Awards ‘Housebuilder of the Year’ in 2016, and ‘Best Medium Housebuilder’ in 2019.
