Four Winds Completion

Our project in Harrow is now complete and the house, having undergone a complete transformation, is fully occupied, with the new basement leisure and pool area looking fantastic.

Here are some photos of the finished outcome.

Planning News Autumn 2020

RMA has recently submitted three planning applications for varied schemes as follows:

Frognal Lane

We have recently submitted a planning application for a large detatched house in Frognal Lane. The original house dates from 1813 and it is Grade 2 listed.

The application is to reverse some changes to the interior and exterior of the building, and restore the original character of the building, make internal improvements to the spaces, create a below ground pool complex and rebuild an annex building. The proposals are intended improve the aesthetic value of the existing building and be designed to be more sympathetic with the Manor House.

Swakeleys

The demolition of existing house and ancillary buildings on site and creation of a new 2.5storey building with 8 flats. 4 Ground Floor Plats, 3 First Floor Flats and 1 set into the roof profile. The design, is conceived as a large villa in the late arts and crafts style typical of Ickenham.

The flats comply with Space Standards, most will be dual aspect, and all will have dedicated outdoor space.

There is potential for the flats to be used specifically as homes for older people and, to this end, the design will comply in all reasonable respects with the Lifetime Homes and HAPPI standards. A lift is provided.

Crawley Down

Proposed 64 Bed Care home, which in line with current practice, consists of four semi-independent groupings of 16 beds, each group having its own lounge, dining area, nursing station and other ancillary facilities. Groupings of this size work well in social terms and allow for very well-tailored care provision. It is likely that one or more of the four wings will be adapted for the provision of dementia care.

Over and above the care wings, are communal spaces, including reception and recreational facilities for more able residents and their families, and staff areas, including administrative offices, kitchens, the laundry and rest rooms.

Gardens are an essential facility, and this site is wonderfully suited to provide secure, beautifully landscaped grounds.

Four Winds makes good progress on site

Work on site for Four Winds, an Arts and Crafts house in Harrow is well underway. The basement excavations and construction of the leisure floor are progressing well.
