Planning History
Site works commenced in autumn 2005, with the first phase of 64 houses being completed and occupied in summer 2006. A further phase is now complete, with the total of 349 properties due for completion in late 2008. The developer originally committed to building the first phase of the scheme – overwhelming market interest led to a commitment to the whole scheme shortly after work commenced on site.
The Design Process
Considerably more of the existing buildings have been demolished than was originally intended, a decision driven by the effect of vat on project finances. The shift, however, enabled a re-evaluation of the design, the major development being the introduction of the raised garden deck and secure covered parking.
