Plans for 40 new homes for people to rent in Whitehaven have been revealed.
Home Group wants to build the estate on land at Fell View Avenue and Windermere Road in Whitehaven.
The social landlord has submitted plans to Copeland Council for 24 two-bedroom bungalows, four three-bedroom bungalows and 12 two-bedroom houses.
In supporting statements submitted to Copeland Council, agent Architects Plus said: “Our intention is to provide high quality, attractive housing for affordable rent, that suits the needs of the local community.
“The project aims to provide an attractive, affordable and secure development with dwellings which appeal to young couples, families and older residents.”
They added that plans have been designed to benefit the area whilst meeting Copeland’s housing needs.
“The development will focus on place making to enhance the public realm, providing high quality streetscapes and landscaping to improve the aesthetic appearance, security and social infrastructure for residents. The design will be attractive, have its own identity and be well connected to the surrounding area.”
Home Group and Architects Plus said they hoped that the development would be a fitting addition to the area.
“Building the right homes in the right places is one of Home Group’s strategic goals, which helps us deliver our customer promise of helping communities grow and providing safe places to live.
“Alongside this, our fundamental design ethos is creating great places to live, that feel safe and allow communities to thrive. This achieved through a focus on urban design that is responsive to context and need, creating homes, spaces and communities for people.”
