The economics of building bungalows will always make them more difficult to deliver than houses – but the needs of an ageing population demand that the challenge they present is overcome.
Andy Atkinson says that Fairhaven wants to “push forward” with more bungalows on future developments in Lancashire – and denies that his company’s operating model makes it inherently easier to pursue that option than it is for traditional housebuilders, whose profit motive means they want to maximise the number of properties they can build on the land that they have available.
Two of the most recent tenants to move into the £1.8m Crownlee extension told the LDRS that after living in the same large semi-detached property for 54 years, downsizing to a bungalow had helped them to retain one of the most prized assets in retirement – their independence. “We can also mix and join in [with community activities] whenever we want – if that’s what we want. And we’ve got new friends,” Sheila added.
“But it also creates communities on people’s doorsteps – especially when they’re not able to get out as much as they used to, or they probably don’t have access to a vehicle anymore. So they don’t become isolated, which is massively important,” Andy added.
