New council homes
The development is looking to provide around 200 new council homes for rent, which will be let through the council's Homemove register.
The plans are for a mix of one, 2, 3 and 4 bed homes, as well as several fully accessible homes to meet a range of housing need. The council has around 7,000 households on the waiting list and new developments can help reduce the waiting list.
The new homes are planned to be highly sustainable including solar panels, ground source heat pumps renewable heating and electric vehicle charging points.
The whole life carbon of homes is being assessed to minimise the impact of these homes over their entire lifespan.
