RDT Architects has announced planning consent for a new Oakland Care, 75-bed care home in Harpenden, Hertfordshire.

Having previously received planning permission for 39 apartments on this site for Jarvis Homes, Oakland Care appointed RDT Architects to submit a care home design to serve the local community.

An RDT spokesperson said: “This modern facility represents an innovative approach to care home design, prioritising the needs of residents, staff and visitors. 

“The RDT team have worked closely with our partners including Harpenden based project manager, Aedifice Partnership, to ensure functionality, sustainability and seamless integration into the urban context.

“With 75 residential bedrooms and associated amenity spaces, both indoors and outdoors, the new care home will be a positive addition to the community, revitalising this former vehicle repair centre site and enriching the neighbourhood and we look forward to bringing our vision to life during the construction phase.”
