Norwood has submitted plans to Wokingham Borough Council for a £16 million-plus development to its Ravenswood site in Crowthorne, Berkshire, for those with learning disabilities that will create modern and accessible homes and outdoor spaces.
The project will see a major upgrade to Ravenswood’s residential accommodation and facilities for its current 111 residents and those housed in future.
Additionally, a parcel of land on the site will be released to housing developer Charles Church for the construction of 183 new homes,40 per cent of which will be affordable housing. This is part of Norwood’s intention to create a pioneering community involving both Ravenswood residents and the wider local populace.
“The plans have been carefully thought through to balance the needs of residents with the desire to align with the national agenda of community inclusion for those with learning disabilities," explained Norwood CEO Dr Beverley Jacobson.
