Haworth Tompkins are working with Inspired Villages to deliver one of the UK’s largest retirement communities on the site of Legal and General House in Kingswood, Surrey. Originally by Arup Associates (1986-1991), with landscaping by Peter Swann Associates the site was listed at Grade II* in 2017.
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council has now approved plans transforming the vacant site into a vibrant later living community with 270 specialist age-appropriate apartments. Stretching over 43 acres, the development will enhance the local area by offering on-site amenities such as a wellness centre, dining and recreation facilities, as well as a small business centre and children’s nursery, all open to the wider community. By carefully refurbishing the listed asset and building on previously developed areas, Inspired will be protecting and enhancing the green belt asset, opening up 16 acres of parkland for general use.
Planning permission has been granted for the first phase of York Central, delivering 1014 homes, commercial space, extensive public realm and parkland, as well as a brand-new entrance to the west of York railway station.
