Description

The properties are designed to take full advantage of their position on an attractive wooded slope, with extensive views across playing fields to the north.

The scheme includes a number of landscape enhancements to help promote biodiversity and safeguard the setting of the development - these include habitat creation measures, extensive new tree planting, and natural swales with marginal planting in combination with new sustainable drainage features.

In addition, a new public footpath is proposed, allowing access through the site for the wider community, to the local sport and recreation facilities.

Planning permission for a further property has recently been secured and work will commence on site imminently.
