According to the application, the development would fit into an emerging trend in Langsett Road.

It says: “All previous commercial units on the stretch of road and locality are fastly being demolished or converted to create residential units.”

It adds: “The development will provide a wide choice of high quality homes, both affordable and market housing to address the requirements of the community.

“It will widen opportunities for home ownership and ensure high quality housing for those who cannot afford market housing, in particular those who are vulnerable.”
