Responding to the Sudbury Road Conservation Area – and the immediate surroundings and landscape – the proposed massing follows the site line while creating a relationship with the adjacent buildings. The units include communal gardens, terraces, and private amenity spaces that enhance the residents’ experience, and 10% of the units will be fully accessible.
“Our designs have been driven by the aspiration to deliver the best quality, net zero carbon homes and doing justice to the fantastic site.”

The development seeks to achieve Net Zero Carbon by following the energy hierarchy: ‘Be lean, Be clean and Be green’, thereby improving regulated emissions. Additionally, it aims to enhance sustainability and wellbeing by increasing biodiversity, providing food-growing opportunities, improving air quality through landscaping, and enhancing cycling and end-of-trip amenities, among other initiatives. The scheme represents a commitment to finding sustainable ways to unlock new housing amid the current housing crisis.
