Feasibility Report:

Following an assessment of the subject site, Hughes Planning & Development Consultants consider that there is capacity for the development of a Build-to-Rent block at the subject site. Development at this site must seek to protect the character of the area and reflect a style of development that preserves the immediate environs. Lawrence and Long Architects have prepared a development option to accompany this feasibility study. The accompanying drawings prepared by Lawrence and Long Architects outline a proposed Build-to-Rent scheme which provides for 16 no. apartments (15 no. 1-bed and 1 no. 2-bed) over six floors with an ancillary commercial unit at ground floor level (75 sq.m.). A copy of the feasibility report and alternative scheme is available upon request.
