Situated on the former St Mellons Enterprise Centre, the development offers 100% affordable 2, 3 and 4 bed family homes. The house designs maximise natural light and ventilation. The landscaped public realm comprises verge tree planting and retention of existing tree belts and reen.
The surrounding area is predominantly characterized by 2 storey residential developments with some 3 storey flats nearby. The careful design ensures the new homes engage positively with the surrounding built form.
The site is located close to the district centre, alongside Crickhowell Road, and has proximity to the local bus networks, St Mellons library & hub and the new skatepark to the west, as well as public amenity areas and woodland along Faendre Reen.
Adoption of a fabric first approach reduces the primary energy demands on the home. Heating is provided by Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) and each property has integrated solar PV and battery storage to offset electricity usage.
The scheme will have Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) to reduce the potential impact of the development on surface water drainage discharges and subsequently reducing the risk of floods and pollution.
The scheme boasts a dedicated communal garden including wildlife pond, bird table, bug hotels and raised planters.
This scheme comprises 13 high-quality, 2,3 & 4 bed homes for general needs social rent.
- 2 x 4 bed House
- 7 x 3 bed House
- 4 x 2 bed House
Whilst accommodation proposed in each house design differs slightly, generally accommodation comprises a living room, kitchen / dining room and WC / utility to ground floor, with 2 or 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom at 1st floor.
Each four-bed unit will also benefit from a master bedroom and study set within a dormer loft room. Each dwelling will have dedicated cycle storage facilities and refuse storage facilities are provided within the curtilage of each dwelling, either to the rear in the case of semi-detached dwellings or within the front curtilage for mid terraced properties.
