St Albans

St Albans District Council identified a need for larger affordable family homes to meet the demands of their housing waiting list, as well as a general requirement for affordable homes in the city.

Our proposal is for 13 new three to four bed houses plus a single two-bedroom wheelchair accessible bungalow, with associated car parking, landscaping and private gardens. Providing these larger sized family homes on this site will free up one and two bedroom houses elsewhere that could be better allocated to smaller family sizes across the city.

The scheme seeks to establish a new residential area that connects to the existing residential development whilst at the same time establishes its own distinct identity.

The new homes will be timber framed with air sourced heat pumps (ASHP) to provide more sustainable heating.
