The site on which the existing 3 bedroom house sits is large, almost double the width of its neighbours, and provides an opportunity for a development.The demolition of the existing house will allow for the construction of a block of five flats.
Further advantage of the site has been taken by proposing a half basement which together with the ground floor proposed 2 large 3 bedroom family units. The floors above provide additional nr 2 one bedroom units suitable for young couples and one 2 bedroom unit spread on 2 floors. The mix of dwelling sizes fits well into the area being close to the town centre with transport links and being a family friendly neighbourhood. This also ensures that the most value has been made from the site, creating a profitable project for the developer.
The development is designed to be a contemporary addition to the existing streetscene. The brick material fits well into the area and the zinc details and aluminium framed windows bring a contemporary look to the facade. The new landscaped area at the front will contribute to the public realm.
