Budget: TBC
Team: Steven Pirks, Will Wimshurst
The proposed scheme is for the redevelopment of a former day care centre site, Meadows Hall located on Church Road, Richmond to provided a high quality, 100% affordable residential development.
The former centre opened in 1963 and operated until 2013 but occupied the site until 2018 when it was demolished following consultation which deemed the facility surplus to requirements.
The brief for the housing mix and type of accommodation has been driven in agreement with the Housing Support and Learning disability team at LBRuT. Of the 12 proposed new homes, the 7 homes within the Mansion block will be for rent for people with a learning disability. These homes and communal area have been designed in consultation with both the learning disability team and Richmond’s and Wandsworth Specialist housing occupational therapist to ensure the accommodation meets the required needs of the end users.
The mews homes to the rear of the site will be available on a London Living Rent basis for local people. These intermediate rented homes will allow people to save for a deposit to enable them to become home owners in the future.
