The five self build plots will be accessed through adoptable highways. Te consistency of of design and infrastructure and boundary treatment for each plot will ensure an attractive and consistent street scene. The buildings will then sit within the plot for full individual expression within the confines of this design framework.

The purpose of the design Framework is to set clear guidelines for individual developers of the plots. It encourages the achievement of a high level of architecture design and quality, whilst protecting the visual amenity of the site and ensuring an acknowledgement of its context. The design Framework strikes a balance between the need to create a cohesively designed development and the freedom and flexibility expected when designing within the self-build culture.
