The construction contractor has commenced enabling work on-site with bulk earthworks, sheet piling, and the laying of road infrastructure to help achieve optimal access to the site.

This care home is being constructed on the 3.61ha site, which previously accommodated Little Furze primary school in South Oxhey, alongside Oxhey Woods Local Nature Reserve.

In 2004, the school was closed after an analysis that the south Watford suburb had more school places than needed.

We’re looking forward to getting started on the main build and delivering a first-class care facility.

“The design of the building reflects the contemporary style similar to other recent precedents in the area such as the South Oxhey regeneration scheme, and the flat roof facilitates the use of a green roof to fit in with the woodland surroundings, and the installation of solar photovoltaic cells to produce renewable energy.”

Completion of the care home project is expected for February next year.
