                                Planning Consent 
 
 
Wren Extra Care Group Plc, the AIM listed provider of retirement living, through 
a range of Extra Care and other services for the independent elderly, announces 
today that detailed planning permission has been granted on a site owned by the 
Company (originally part of a scheme intended for use for one of Wren's much 
larger Extra care Schemes) for thirteen two bed roomed apartments in Chipstead, 
Surrey. 
 
This planning consent would enable Wren to generate significant cash from a sale 
of the site alone at this stage. However, in order to optimise both profit and 
cash for the Company, the directors have submitted a further application on the 
same site for nine five-bed roomed executive houses, which if successful would 
materially enhance profitability and cash generation from the site and a 
decision on the planning and sale of the scheme will be made within 
approximately two months. 
 
Commenting, Paul Treadaway, CEO of Wren Extra Care said: 
"I am delighted that Wren has been granted planning consent for this exciting 
opportunity at Chipstead that in one stroke, effectively demonstrates and 
realises some of the value inherent across the Wren estate.  I very much look 
forward to its successful outcome and the continued development of the Company"
