A planning application is being prepared for a residential development of 25 affordable homes with associated infrastructure and landscaping on land at the Former Easington Colliery School. The application is being prepared on behalf of Durham County Council’s Housing Delivery Team as part of the Council Homes programme with the support of local construction company T Manners & Sons. The proposal will provide a range of affordable housing consisting of a mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses, 2 bedroom bungalows and 2 bedroom flats. This will allow for a range of house types which will suit a variety of occupiers. The draft layout plan has been designed to respect surrounding residential properties and follow the alignment of the existing dwellings where possible. It includes a sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) detention basin to the east of the site. Key features include:- Provision of a variety of house types;
- Vehicular access from Seaside Lane South;
- Retention of the original brick wall to the south of the site where possible;
- On plot car parking in line with requirements;
- Landscaping scheme and areas of open space;
- Constructed to exceed current standards of energy efficiency, and
- Sustainable drainage measures to manage surface water from the development.
