The Beechcroft team is celebrating Buckinghamshire Council’s decision to grant planning permission for the company’s latest proposals for Wilton Park, Beaconsfield.
On 3 July, approval was given for a reserved matters application which will see the creation of 98 new homes at Wilton Park and a new Wilton House, designed in the style of the former manor house and set within restored formal gardens. An outline application for the creation of up to 96 new homes on land to the west of Wilton House, along with public open space, parking and landscaping, also received approval.
“We are delighted to receive approval for the next phase of development at Wilton Park,” comments Chris Thompson, Beechcroft’s Managing Director. “The construction of the new Wilton House, and the restoration of the formal gardens, will re-establish the historic heart of the Wilton Park Estate and provide a focal point for the development which includes a diverse mix of homes, designed to meet local housing needs. In addition to 95 assisted living homes for older people and the 75-bed care home that achieved planning approval earlier this year, we will be creating affordable housing and a new nursery, scheduled to open this autumn.”
“I would like to congratulate our team and thank everyone involved for their work on one of the most complex planning situations in Beechcroft’s 40-year history. We are now working up a reserved matters application to set out the details relating to the 98 new homes and the new manor house.”
Founded 40 years ago, Beechcroft has become one of the UK’s leading specialist developers building high quality homes in some of the most attractive towns and villages in Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Middlesex, Gloucestershire and Kent.
In the beginning, we set out to create outstanding homes for people over the age of 55 but more than 20 years ago, we created our Special Projects Division in response to a growing demand from people under the age of 55 for the elegant, high-quality properties on peaceful developments created on our retirement developments. In recent years, we have expanded our operations to provide open market homes, available to all homeowners.
Our founding principles remain unchanged. We choose our locations with care ensuring that there are shops, restaurants and good transport links on hand. We design homes that provide generously proportioned, light filled living spaces, we build and finish them with care and install the highest quality fixtures and fittings. All our new and converted homes feature bespoke kitchens fitted with a full range of appliances, bathrooms and en-suites include vanity units and fitted mirrors and each home comes complete with flooring, including carpeting. We are committed to creating homes that are energy-efficient, designed to save the costs of energy bills and to reduce carbon emissions that affect our natural world.
We pay careful attention to the landscaping of each and every development. The landscaping is an integral part of the initial design rather than an afterthought and planting is designed to mature, provide year-round colour and interest and to attract insect life.
