Parcel 2.3 provides 48 no. dwellings within the mixed-use scheme at Wolborough Grange; dwellings are a mix of 2,3 & 4 beds in semi-detached forms with occasional short terraces & detached units. Dwellings are predominantly 2-storey, with 2.5 storey designed along the primary street frontage to emphasise its importance.

​

The parcel is split into two character areas with dwellings in the northern area adjoining the Primary Street & designed to provide a consistent building line & strong urban frontage. A traditional architectural style in a mix of multi-red brick & muted render colours. Detailing includes red brick plinths with recon. stone cills & a mix of red brick arches or canted brick heads to windows.

​

The remainder of the parcel falls within the ‘Core’ character area & acts as a transition from the formal urban areas of the Link Road & Primary Street to the rural edges of development. It provides traditional style dwellings in a more varied material palette, with a mix of render & red or buff brick. The use of brick to main facades is more common, with contrasting quoins & band courses providing variety & aiding legibility.

​

Corner buildings continue the theme created in Parcel 2.2 & act as key features at junctions, providing dual aspect & utilising a distinct material palette of natural stone with red brick detailing.

​

As with the earlier parcel, the site required careful design considerations due to steep site levels, working closely with engineers to ensure practical solutions without compromise on viability.
