ABOUT THE SITE<br />
Site Constraints<br />
Before we began to develop plans for the site, we needed to understand what features would<br />
need to be taken into account as we designed the layout of the scheme. The diagram below<br />
outlines some of the key features we have taken into account, which has been informed by<br />
numerous technical studies and surveys.<br />

Our approach to design<br />
This will be a high quality development designed<br />
to be sympathetic to the local area. It will reflect<br />
local character and have regard to the existing<br />
surrounding environment and context.<br />
A number of design elements will be incorporated<br />
into the scheme’s layout in order to match with<br />
surrounding street patterns and building types. Soft<br />
landscaping will be a key feature with a number of<br />
formal and informal spaces, including a linear park<br />
running north-south through the development, and<br />
a green at the south of the site as well as landscaped<br />
courtyards for carparking. The Strategy Diagram to<br />
the right shows our considerations when developing<br />
the layout.<br />
A mixture of house types will be included<br />
incorporating a crescent of town houses facing<br />
the northern boundary, as well as courtyard/<br />
mews style homes, terraced and larger properties.<br />
