Abbeyfield is the freeholder of a large plot of land in Ryde on the Isle of Wight. Although the project is in a very early stage, the Development Team are currently working closely with the local authority and the local community to ensure we provide a sensitive development that respects the surrounding semi-rural environment and meets the future needs of local older people. A scheme of around 150 homes is proposed with a range of tenures including affordable and private sale that will vary from self contained apartments, to bungalows and possibly a small number of homes to accommodate dementia care.
Abbeyfield have appointed specialist planning consultants to assist us with the process of preparing an acceptable scheme in terms of local planning policy and our architects continue to work on the design development.
It is hoped that a planning application will be submitted in 2010 moving to a start to the works in 2011.
