Case Study

York North Yorkshire PROJECT OVERVIEW 66-BED CARE HOME Key Site Constraints The site was a brownfield development site that sat within the general extent of the green belt. Occupied by a 3-storey Victorian laundry building “Blue Beck House”, which was considered a non-designated heritage asset, and which was demolished as part of the proposal to facilitate the new 3-storey 72 bed care home with car parking and landscaping.

As part of the site works Blue Beck Drive which served the neighbouring NHS property, Clifton House was diverted.

The scale and mass of the new care home building was given careful consideration to ensure that the design and material palette were sympathetic to the surrounding buildings and area.

Case Study

Bromsgrove Worcestershire PROJECT OVERVIEW 72-BED CARE HOME Key Site Constraints The site was originally The Mount School, an education facility and non-designated heritage asset, which ceased use in the late 19th Century.

The site sits within the green belt, and our proposal was to demolish the existing building for the benefit of a 72-bed care home with new car park and landscaping.

Within the design, consideration was given to the topography of the site with a rise of more than 6m across the front of the site to the rear.

This resulted in the design for a split-level site with a 2-level car park, a 3 and a half storey care home which also required a 4.5m retaining wall at the top of the site.

After initially having our planning application refused, we secured our development through the appeal process.

Case Study

Salts Mill Shipley, West Yorkshire PROJECT OVERVIEW 72-BED CARE HOME Key Site Constraints The site was originally of industrial use and home to multiple single storey units, fronting the Leeds-Liverpool canal. The site covers 2.11 acres which was ideal for our proposed development of a 66-bed care home (C2) and 56 retirement living apartments, made up of 1 and 2 bed apartments.

The design of the development was key, given the site sits within the Saltaire World Heritage Buffer Zone; the care home was designed with a more traditional feel using a mixture of render, brick and natural stone with a natural slate pitched roof, whist the retirement living scheme had a contemporary design with buff brick, standing seam cladding and a flat roof.

Case Study

Lincoln, Lincolnshire PROJECT OVERVIEW 73-BED CARE HOME Key Site Constraints The site had previously been used as a car dealership with a showroom, workshops and offices which included the former United Reform Church, which had been converted for use as storage and office space. The site, at 1.68 acres, is a gateway site on the edge of Lincoln which fronted onto High Street and Sincil Dyke.

The development repurposed this brownfield site into a 73-bed care home, 30 retirement living apartments made up of 1 and 2 beds, and converted the former United Reform Church into 5-flats.

The remediation of the site posed the most challenging aspect of this project, given that during the archaeological excavations our discoveries included the early course of the Sincil Dyke, medieval revetment wall remains, a large boundary ditch, and structures from medieval and post-medieval periods, such as walls, road surfaces, kilns, wells, and a semicircular defensive bastion.

Artefacts recovered included medieval to early modern pottery, coins, tokens, a buckle, spindle whorls, whetstones, and two possible medieval stone shot, with minimal Roman and prehistoric finds.

The more recent use of the site as a petrol filling station and then latterly the car showroom and garage had meant that the site had widespread contamination from petrochemicals and other hydrocarbons. As part of the project Torsion Care were keen to ensure that the site was remediated in full to protect those building the development, the end users of the development and ensure that any contamination from the site could not leach into the adjacent waterway, Sincil Dyke.
