The Proposals

The proposals would be submitted in outline with all matters except access reserved. This means that the site access would be approved but all other details – i.e. layout, appearance, scale, landscaping – would be reserved for a future application. However, an illustrative layout and street elevations are provided below to indicate how the site could be developed.

The scheme would provide a mix of housing including affordable homes with new landscaping and hedge planting to the site boundaries. The existing footpath would be retained and would provide pedestrian and cycles access from the development to the east.
