The site, set over one acre of land, is located in a residential area, and was formerly occupied by a large, detached family home and a coach house. The proposed care home comprises of 70 beds and provides residential and dementia care. The development achieves 54m² build space per resident, making it a particularly efficient plan form.

There is no dominant architectural style in the locality and the home responds to the general scale, massing and architectural merit of its surroundings. The Y-shaped plan form and inclusion of a basement helps to reduce the perception of massing form neighbouring properties. The building form responds to sites constraints including change in levels, root protection of a 100 year old Oak tree, and tree screening lining two boundaries.
