Our Proposals

Stretching from Rye Lane to Alpha Street on the now derelict former Asda site, the scheme has been designed to be as sympathetic as possible, with overlooking and privacy for neighbouring properties a prime consideration. It has been carefully designed to fit in with and complement the character of the Rye Lane conservation area and will fundamentally comprise three buildings. A one storey commercial frontage onto Rye Lane, slowly increasing in height as the building goes into the site. The middle building will be the highest but will not be visible from its Rye Lane frontage. Behind it will be a landscaped outdoor amenity space leading to a smaller building with four larger family sized affordable homes facing onto Alpha Street. The development will be linked by pockets of outside space designed to ensure safety and privacy. There will also be roof terraces for social recreation.

The Layout

Responding to feedback, we have altered the shape and height of the buildings. The Rye Lane building has been reduced by a storey and the building reduced further on the frontage to reflect the adjoining property. The central building has been reduced by one storey and the southern wing reduced by two storeys.
