The housing will be made up of 26 two beds, 33 three beds, and two four beds.

An officer report states that 35 homes will be available at ‘affordable rent’, and five will be available as shared ownership.

The report states that Balmoral Group ‘is building new purpose built premises at Thurnsoe Business Park’, and a design and access statement adds that ‘the current site is constrained by the surrounding development and uses, and the character of the area has changed following recent residential developments’.
