The Green is previously developed brownfield land located on the prominent A34 Stratford Road. Due to various planning constraints the development of new housing in the area has been limited, making the demand for family homes very high. Our vision was to create much-needed housing that’s as exceptionally designed as it is connected.
Creation through collaboration
We worked closely with the previous landowners throughout the outline planning process. This ensured a smooth transition as the site progressed with the planning authority. We took the same collaborative approach with the council during the design part of the process.
The result was approval for 109 2, 3 & 4 bedroom homes, including 48 2 bedroom apartments, to accommodate both first time buyers and growing families.
