An eco-friendly village for over-55s, in Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex, is set to grow further following the developer’s securement of an additional £10m of funding for the project from Shawbrook.
The new finance will support the expansion of the first part of Burnham Waters by an additional 19 bungalows, taking the total for this phase to 63 properties. It will also allow the developer to acquire 20 acres of neighbouring land for vital infrastructure works.
The overall project – comprising 103 bungalows, 55 independent living flats, a 70-bedroom care home and a parade of shops – is making good progress, with show homes due to open imminently.
It aims to reduce carbon emissions by almost a third compared to current building regulations, with an electric car charging point for each bungalow. An electric minibus service will also provide residents regular connections to the town centre.
The scheme, which has already generated strong interest, will feature a gym for residents, a swimming pool, tennis courts, an on-site GP surgery, landscaped gardens and nature trails, with a strong ecological focus.
