The Site
Proposals have been reduced overall from 89 homes granted at outline planning permission stage to 84, and will consider layout, external appearance, landscaping and scale of homes.

The heights of buildings have been carefully designed, the perimeter of the site will contain homes no taller than 2 storeys, bungalows have also been included at the very edges of the site.
A modest number of 2 ½ storey homes with dormers are positioned centrally within the site to provide variation in designs and offer diversity in the overall appearance and mix of homes.

Appearance
External finishes are to be constructed in stone and render. Natural stone has been incorporated to key buildings within the site, as well as low natural stone walling to frontages.
The designs of homes specifically responds and reflects the distinctive character of Engine Common, with the use of buff brick quoins, sash windows and simple entrance porches and canopies.
Public footpaths through the site are retained and improved, re-surfaced footpath connections between North Road and Engine Common Lane will provide links for pedestrians and cyclists.

Sustainability
Homes will be constructed to the very latest construction techniques and utilise renewable energy technologies.
The use of solar panels combined with air source heat pumps result in our open market homes becoming zero carbon in terms of energy use, combined with alternative technologies in other homes creating low carbon homes, helping occupants shrink their carbon footprint.
Properties have been orientated to maximise solar gain and will use high levels of insulation in the fabric of the building that will also help deliver significant energy savings.
Water butts positioned within private gardens where possible will capture rainfall from roofs and enable householders to utilise this source when gardening or washing their vehicles.
