The proposals is for a new high quality residential development, offering a range of townhouses, along with improved landscaping, parking and access. The proposal replaces the six existing dwellings with 14 no. Three-bed(+) townhouses, and 14 no. two-bed townhouse apartments, with associated underground parking, cycle facilities, and communal gardens to the centre of the site.
This outline planning application was presented after several rounds of pre-application advice. The design proposals have been altered and amended to align more closely with council feedback, and the Poole Local Plan. The proposal is more developed in both it’s architectural quality as well as robustness with regards to Passivhaus certified levels of performance - which is an aspiration for the development.
The aim is to deliver a sustainable, enduring and engaging local development for the area.
