Plans for 81 new homes approved

In July 2023, planning approval was granted for the first residential phase of the regeneration, comprising 81 new homes. The design of these mixed-tenure homes reflects the outcomes of a comprehensive community engagement program. Upon completion, the new homes will include one and two-bedroom apartments, as well as family homes.
.

• 67% will be 3 and 4-bed family homes
• 32 homes (40%) will be affordable
• 49 homes (60%) will be market housing.   

A central feature will be the introduction of a new community green, complemented by street trees and a community orchard. The street and road design prioritizes cycling and walking, contributing to improved pedestrian safety.

Each home will be equipped with an air source heat pump, while the installation of photovoltaic solar panels ensures cost-effective energy consumption. The new homes exceed established energy and carbon reduction benchmarks, offering a clear pathway towards achieving net-zero goals.

Phase 1 will establish the benchmark for design quality, setting the standard for all subsequent phases.
