Lawlor Burns and Associates are delighted to announce a project update that a planning application has been submitted for the site at Charles Street in Nelson.
The project will consist of 140 residential units with the apartments ranging from one-bed to two-bed properties, while houses will range from two-bed to four-bed.
Lawlor Burns and Associates are acting as client representatives, Project Managers, and quantity surveyors on this ambitious project, which will provide much needed affordable housing to the area.
The location for this development is a former industrial site in the middle of a primarily residential area.
Spanning over 2.79 ha. The site is advantageously located, with the town centre easily accessed just 4 minutes away by car, and 12 minutes on foot. The area already boasts ample local amenities, with a school adjacent and nearby access to public transport links and local cycle infrastructure and pedestrian routes included to improve the connectivity across the site.
Significant landscape improvements will also take place across the site to enhance the area. This may include planting of mixed native and ornamental trees, open green space, a riverside park, rain gardens and seating. Plans place a strong emphasis on uncovering and opening up the river which flows through the site, making it a prominent feature within the neighbourhood.
Fantastic work on the project so far, well done to the rest of the team involved:
Developer Foxfield Developments
The design team, led by Christian Gilham of Lech Rhodes Walker Architects
Nikki Sills of Zerum planning consultants
