A huge new 477 home housing estate on a former school site has moved a step close with the submission of a detailed planning application for the site.
It is for the building of 477 residential dwellings with public open space, landscaping, three ponds, demolition of existing stable buildings, new parking associated with the Square Meadow sports pavilion, additional parking off Knowle Lane, and new vehicle access points off Holden Fold, Moor Lane and Roman Road.Up to 12 different two, three and four-bedroomed house designs will be used.
“It is proposed that publicly accessible informal open space is provided comprising amenity green space, green infrastructure and play space. A minimum of two car parking spaces are provided for each house. “Private gardens will be placed to the rear of properties. Properties are to face directly onto streets and where it is necessary for side elevations to abut the public realm, additional detailing or windows will be provided to avoid blank gables and maximise overlooking and natural surveillance.
