Pendine Park | Developer being sought | Around 15 months after intended 2027 construction start

Former Mill Water School care-home development · Honiton
Undisclosed national care provider | Planning approved | Timetable to confirm
Target scope
Seek introduction to the unnamed operator to clarify fire-strategy and systems-design appointments after consent.
The September announcement records the sale of the former Mill Water School site, with consent for a 70-bedroom care home; the buyer is unnamed. AB Fire’s national consultancy offer is geographically suitable, but commercial qualification depends on revealing the real design team.
First move
Email Sara Hartill at sara.hartill@christie.com to ask whether an introduction to the owner or project lead is possible. The adviser is not the procurement buyer. Lead with: Has the buyer selected the architect and fire-engineering adviser who will develop the consented 70-bedroom scheme?
Qualification questions
Has the buyer selected the architect and fire-engineering adviser who will develop the consented 70-bedroom scheme?
How are the strategy, alarm cause-and-effect and compartmentation information coordinated and approved?
Who is the authorised owner or project lead, and what programme or appointment has actually been confirmed?

Subject: Former Mill Water School care-home development: introduction to the relevant owner or project lead
Hi Sara,
The September announcement records the sale of the former Mill Water School site, with consent for a 70-bedroom care home; the buyer is unnamed. We provide fire-engineering strategy, systems-design consultation and passive-fire survey services for care and other premises.
Would it be possible to forward a short introduction to the owner or relevant project lead? The initial question is: Has the buyer selected the architect and fire-engineering adviser who will develop the consented 70-bedroom scheme?
We would like to establish whether there is a defined requirement and the right time to speak. We appreciate that the sale announcement does not establish a current supplier review.
Kind regards,
AB Fire Solutions
