The Nelson Project
Plymouth,
DCH
Description of Scheme
This scheme will provide 24 one bed flats divided into four blocks of 6 over 3 storeys, meeting most of the HAPPI criteria including: wheelchair access to 6 of the flats and a good communal landscape provision (including vegetable garden).
Architectural interest will be created by a flat roofed, curved central block on the corner frontage of the development, contrasting to the traditional pitch roofs on either side. It is anticipated that Zinc cladding will be used to complement the use of traditional render.
Where Is It?
The project is within an inner city district undergoing major regeneration and has already seen the completion of several prestigious housing developments.
The surrounding area of George Place is a mix of light industrial workshops, residential flatted schemes and a few shops. The architecture is a mixture of post war development, Georgian terraces, single Victorian buildings and regeneration projects based on CABE principles.Key Information
