Greenwell Grange Care Development,
Bedale

Project Overview

Project: Greenwell Grange Care Home Bedale
Client: The Fisher Care Group
Status: Tender – Autumn 2019 (RIBA Plan of Work Stage 4 – Technical Design)

S+SA were appointed to provide architectural services for the design and delivery of a new build care development for a site outside Bedale in North Yorkshire.  The commission was for a repeat care provider client who already operated two existing homes in Bedale.  The client was looking to consolidate their operations on a single new site, at the same time taking the opportunity to create additional capacity to secure their long-term presence in the area.

Our Input

S+SA were appointed to provide architectural services from inception through to completion of the project. Our care sector experience and thorough understanding of this repeat client’s requirements enabled us to produce a design which exceeded the original brief, even securing additional capacity for service user accommodation.

Our Value

Initially S+SA were able to facilitate the introduction of a site opportunity to the client, which ultimately proved successful, prior to progressing with the design process.  Pre-application consultation with the Local Authority planning department established a number of constraints initially at odds with the scale of accommodation the client required, however, our design concept for breaking up the scale and mass of the proposed development proved so satisfactory from the Local Authority’s perspective, the application was granted planning consent without the need to go to committee.
