sensitively designing new affordable housing for a rural exceptions site

+ project type: affordable & market housing development site

+ RIBA work stages: 0-3

+ location: burley

+ planning consultant: chapman lily planning

We were appointed to prepare a feasibility study for the redevelopment of land for residential use. Working closely with a local planning firm, we progressed a sensitive pre-application submission to identify the site’s potential for high-quality (well-needed) affordable housing for the wider community. The design of the site has been kept sensitive to the local landscape setting, providing positive buffer zones around the tree-lined frontage and feature trees within the site. The housing mix has been driven by local needs and a clear shortage in family housing and bungalow provision. We introduced a design aesthetic that reflected the rural, agricultural character whilst bringing through the efficiencies of modern architecture to make the scheme commercially viable and realistic.
