Proposal

Planning permission for environmental accessibility improvements to 62 residential properties, including alterations to car parking provision, alterations to boundary treatments and the installation of new boundary treatments, dropped kerbs, changes to existing garden areas and surfacing and other external alterations Formalize and improve the provision of car parking for residents as on-street car parking has a negative impact on both the pedestrian and vehicle experience. Improvements and/or replacement of existing boundary which treatments are inconsistent in appearance, outdated and in need of repair. New paths in existing gardens. These paths will be laid largely in line with their existing levels or regraded to create more accessible gradients which conform in principle with Part M of the Building Regulations. Some of the properties have issues with overgrown and unmaintained hedges, therefore these will be removed and replaced with fences for ease of maintenance both by existing and future tenants and to help generate a consistent vernacular to the estate.
