Grays (Consulting Engineers) Limited have been appointed as the Civil & Structural Engineers for this prestigious development in Sittingbourne for Graham Land and Developments.

Graham Land & Developments is seeking to replace the outdated care home with a modern, purpose-built Care Home scheme.

The eastern part of the site that is currently housing a care facility is unable to accommodate an appropriate, viable home without reducing separation distances between neighbouring residential properties. It would also involve removing the TPO protected belt of trees running through the site. Due to the existing site constraints a continued C2 use only becomes viable to the rear of the site. It is proposed to transform the front part of the site into a community green area.

The home, on its way from the initial feasibility study to the current layout, has undergone many transformations in order to address the local authorities concerns as well as responding to feedback received from our neighbours.

The current application consists of 54 single and 20 double suites including en-suites, communal areas and ancillary accommodation.

On the ground floor, in addition to facilities for the care home, we have also located a Day Care Centre capable of providing care for approximately 20 people.

The building has been developed to allow the most suitable layout, taking into account the topography, sun path and access point, to maximise the views across open countryside and to maximise garden space.
