THE BUNGALOW

Land adjacent to #54 Henty Rd, Worthing

Commenced October 2022

New Build - 2 Bed Bungalow

The first development to be funded by the partnership. Just as with Green Mews and Queensbury Mews, the proposed scheme having full consent from the local authority has proved commercially unattractive to other developers. The expenditure required to provide a foundation for a masonry building, coupled with the cost uncertainty/availability of the labour, plant & materials required to deliver a traditional scheme makes for a business risk that the majority of developers simply cannot afford.

A Cross Laminated Timber building is 80% less dense mass than its masonry equivalent, requiring much less foundation work and being manufactured off-site allows for a tight cost vs value regime. The lucky owner will benefit from thickly insulated walls, high efficiency energy use, a spacious interior and a contemporary home designed for a sustainable life.

BRIEF

In the same vein as Green Mews and Queensbury Mews, our Bungalow project at Henty Road, Worthing is a scheme that had proved to be commercially unattractive to deliver in masonry or light steel framing. The partners decided to purchase the vacant plot and build the proposed bungalow in Cross Laminated Timber in a panellised design.

This design includes a range of innovations that have been developed from our earlier projects, particularly in the foundations.

CLT Structures LLP have created a building that we believe will become a landmark of sustainable construction. Not only will the building have the same efforts made to ensure energy efficiency but will also be a commercial success.
