Opportunities The site allows for a reasonable density to be achieved on site, but also should be considered as a landscape-led approach considering the established overlooking from the existing properties.

Use of existing clustering can be developed to reflect the existing street scene identity and position the proposal sensitively within the site.

The slope allows for higher massing to be positions higher up the slope, and lower massing closer to the single storey properties.

Proposal The proposal has been shaped around the fundamental principle of ownership. All allocated parking has been placed within respective curtilages, and shared roads have been reduced as far as practically able to reduce maintenance and management liabilities for the residents, and every property has been designed to have their own front door opening onto private garden area.

The street characters have been retained whilst meeting all relevant separation requirements, and the proposal has been massed in such a way as to sit sensitively within the surroundings, while providing an a acceptable density of development plus key open green amenity spaces being provided for the residents.

Around lime street all properties are provided with off street private parking to help decongest the highway, and provide small landscaped feint gardens with active frontages for security around the site.

A separate road has been formed within the site to allow access to the south of the site, comprising 1-bed maisonettes with private front doors, and upside-down two storey properties with first floor gardens to the south.

All properties have dual aspect, private amenity space, allocated private parking.
