Developer Charterpoint has completed the sale of its care home site at Vistry’s Westcombe Park to LNT Care Developments.
The deal follows the granting of planning permission in the summer for the 66-bedroom care home at the development in Heybridge, near Maldon in Essex.
It paves the way for work to start on site on the three-storey care home, which will provide residential care and residential dementia care.
Meanwhile, Charterpoint will continue to develop detailed plans for the neighbourhood centre and other associated facilities at Westcombe Park, which will include later living apartments, a health centre, a convenience store, other retail units, and a day nursery.
MD of Charterpoint Group Giles Nursey said: “The sale of our care home site at Westcombe Park to LNT Care Developments marks the next stage of development at this exciting garden suburb of Heybridge.
“We look forward to seeing the delivery of this first-class care home, which will become a valuable community asset. Our focus is now on developing more detailed plans for additional facilities that are planned for the neighbourhood centre for Westcombe Park.”
The deal was brokered by Portunus Associates working for Charterpoint and Matt Gill of Whirledge & Nott working for Vistry.
Vistry’s Westcombe Park development is spread over 418 acres and will deliver 1,035 high quality new homes – of which 30% will be affordable – alongside a range of new community facilities and open green space.
The care home, later living apartments, health centre, convenience store, retail units and day nursery are key elements of the new community.
