Proposed Site Layout Plan
Homes Proposed
Our plans provide a variety of market and affordable homes across a range of property sizes to deliver a mixed and balanced community and to meet local housing needs.
We are proposing a range of 1 to 5 bedroom homes comprising a mix of apartments and houses. 40% of these homes will be provided as affordable housing.
All of the homes will comply with nationally described space standards, to ensure good levels of residential amenity.
The homes will be designed to be in keeping with the local traditional architecture and character of the area. The homes will incorporate a range of details including weatherboarding, tile hanging, brick banding, stone cills and hipped roofs. The majority of homes will be 2 storey, with some 2.5 storey (homes with accommodation in the roof) spread around the site.
The proposed apartment buildings would be the only 3 storey buildings, located to the north of the site.
The affordable homes will be designed to be tenure blind. This means that all homes on the development, whether for private sale or affordable will follow the same design principles.
