The proposed scheme involves:
Development of 13 small sites across Felton and Chiswick, providing accisible and affordable housing. This initiative responds to the Greater London Authority’s ‘Small Sites, Small Builders Programme’.
The design approach has been guided by GLA and Hounslow policy, and includes the following principles: + Treat each site as a unique opportunity.+ Optimise the amount of residential accommodation.+ Provide an appropriate mix of dwelling types and sizes.+ Achieve practical, well-proportioned, high quality dwellings.+ Protect the privacy and amenity of near neighbours.+ Create intimate developments with a distinct character and sense of place · improve the wider setting of each site.
Across the 13 sites, the proposals would provide a total 61 new dwellings and over 116 bedspaces in a mix of houses, bungalows and apartments.
