Adopting a green street concept
The Moulsecoomb Community Hub and Housing project will adopt a green street concept.
This approach involves creating a pedestrian and cycle friendly environment, set with a strong structure of landscape planting including street tree planting and rain gardens.
We propose to provide greened and raised safe routes to allow pedestrian priority, facilitate safe movement and ensure access for all.
The scheme will support opportunities for greener modes of transport for example through inclusion of electric car charging points and provision for cycle storage.
In addition, we propose to capitalise on the site's proximity to a number of major bus routes on Lewes Road and Hodshrove Road through careful design to ensure connectivity and links to existing routes and networks.
We recognise that even with a move towards electric cars, there will still be a need for car parking spaces to accommodate them. As such, the scheme will provide about 110 car parking spaces.
