Planning granted by Forest of Dean District Council for a development of 20 affordable homes in Staunton!
gcp is working with Two Rivers Housing to redevelop a site currently used for sheltered housing. The existing 1960s buildings provided poor quality accommodation and did not meet the standard of homes that Two Rivers aim to provide to their tenants. Following consultation with remaining residents, it was decided to redevelop the land so that better quality homes can be created. The design proposal by gcp, which was granted planning consent last month, will provide a mix of accommodation including bungalows, flats and houses. Whilst continuing to provide homes for older tenants, the scheme will create a more mixed community that reflects the nature of surrounding homes and local housing need. The new homes will feature renewable technologies including heat pumps and solar panels to reduce carbon emissions and provide low energy costs for tenants.
