A planning application is being prepared for a residential development of 32 affordable homes with associated infrastructure and landscaping on land at Greenwood Avenue, Burnhope. The application is being prepared on behalf of Durham County Council’s Housing Delivery Team as part the Council Homes programme with the support of local construction company T Manners & Sons. The site previously included houses which were cleared in the 2000s and is therefore historically previously developed. The proposal will provide a range of affordable housing consisting of a mix of a mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses and 2 bedroom bungalows. The draft layout plan has been designed to respect existing residential properties to the north, ensure properties front onto Greenwood Avenue and fully integrate with the surrounding area. Key features include:- Vehicular accesses from Greenwood Avenue,
- Improved footpath along Greenwood Avenue,
- On plot and visitor car parking in line with requirements,
- Retention of existing trees,
- Landscaping and street trees,
- Constructed to exceed current standards of energy efficiency, and
- Sustainable drainage measures to manage surface water from the development.
