Denne wins £17 million in extra care construction contracts

Latest News Tue, Mar 22, 2016 4:55 PM

Denne, which is part of the Leadbitter Group, has won two major contracts to build extra care retirement homes on behalf of Saxon Weald in the south east coastal towns of Rustington and Eastbourne. Both schemes, valued at £8.5 million each, have started on site and are due for completion in 2011 and 2012.

The schemes will offer dedicated facilities for older people who need help and support with everyday living, including a full range of day care services and amenities such as treatment rooms, a restaurant, residents’ lounge and communal gardens.

The first of the projects, in Rustington, is a three-storey scheme offering 62 one and two bedroom apartments available for rent and shared ownership, with access to on-site care 24 hours a day. Arun District Council, West Sussex County Council and Saxon Weald are working in partnership on the project.

Denne has been involved in the scheme from the start, assisting with the planning process and helping Saxon Weald to achieve funding for the project. Now construction has begun in earnest, with completion of this project due in autumn 2011.

Further east along the coast, Eastbourne Borough Council and East Sussex County Council are working in partnership with Saxon Weald to produce the second scheme in Eastbourne. This strikingly-designed four-storey building offering 62 flats for rent is due for completion in early 2012.

This is Denne’s third extra care project with Saxon Weald in East Sussex. The build programme has already started, with enabling works to include the scheduled demolition of an old day centre and flats currently on the site.

Graham Brown, Managing Director of Denne, said: “We are delighted to be working again with Saxon Weald on two such important projects. The team at Denne has tremendous experience in delivering extra care developments of the highest quality, and we will bring all this experience to bear to deliver the best possible outcome for Saxon Weald and the future residents of these superb retirement schemes.”

David Standfast, Chief Executive of Saxon Weald, said: “We know from experience that Denne will build these much needed extra care homes to a very high standard, with excellent customer service.”

The largest provider of social housing in the Horsham area, Saxon Weald owns and manages more than 5,000 properties across Sussex and Hampshire, including general needs, retirement and shared ownership homes.
