Development Proposal
The proposed development features a three storey block of 6 residential units in semi-detached arrangement designed to provide key worker housing. The units are served by two external staircases to provide improved egress from a potential fire. The staircase to the south will be the location of integrated parcel boxes for mail deliveries. On ground there will be a main communal area leading to the enclosed cycle store and another providing a grass area for recreation. A communal refuse store will be provided within 10m of Park Tolvean road for collection.
​
All of the units would have two bedrooms each providing living accommodation for two people. Each bedroom has space for someone to study while the units have a shared open plan living, kitchen and dining areas and a bathroom.
The roof of the building would also be fitted with solar panels to generate electricity.
