Cumberland signs off 60 affordable homes
Castles and Coasts Housing Association secured the approval of the Cumbrian local authority’s planning committee last week, receiving the go-ahead for its mixture of bungalows and houses on six acres off Greenhill near Brampton.
In addition to 60 affordable homes, the housing association’s plans also included one open market building plot.
Of the affordable houses, six are two be two-bed bungalows. There would also be 30 two-bed houses, 20 three-bed ones, and four with four bedrooms. All will be semi-detached houses, with eight different house types on offer.
Most of the properties will be listed as right-to-buy homes, with 28 set for affordable rent. They would all have solar panels, private gardens, and off-street parking for at least two cars.
As part of the proposals, drawn up by Ergo, there would be a new access point created to the development from Greenhill, as well as a spine road.
