PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS

• The design team has produced a planning grant that is a step up in the quality of new housing design in the Drogheda area and is designed to satisfy the local need for good quality family housing.

 

• The houses are arranged as mainly semi-detached and detached, minimising terraced housing and large apartment blocks as these were found to be less in demand in this suburban area of Drogheda.

 

• The proposed development has 217 dwellings giving a density of 37.4 units/Ha

 

• There is a variety of housing types and sizes with a 2 storey landmark entrance building containing a crèche, gym, café and meeting room.

 

• This proposed high-density development has resulted in a most efficient use of the land for housing, circulation and green space while offering an excellent variety of dwelling types and sizes to meet Lifetime Homes standards.

 

• The architectural design of the house types is very distinctive and are contemporary in style with low maintenance materials.

 

• The development is zoned into eight-character areas to include 4 home zones that create a more intimate scale and have distinctive characteristics, landscaping, and variety of materials in the housing design.

 

• The main public space offers a visually pleasing and active space with several smaller areas that give a quieter, relaxing atmosphere. There are also several small pocket parks that provide rest areas and seating. The central open space has been designed as a village green.

 

• The proposed duplex apartments are designed to be harmonious with the rest of the proposed dwellings in scale and façade treatments, so they are not necessarily perceived as a denser part of the development

 

• All dwellings are dual aspect giving a high quality of natural daylight and windows are designed to avoid views into the home from other houses with south and west facing gardens offering passive solar

 

• All homes entrances are visible and accessed directly from the street which creates on-street activity and the layout integrates car, cycle and pedestrian facilities promoting movement throughout the site.

 

• Duplex apartments located on the first-floor level will be accessed through a ground floor lobby.

 

• All houses are designed to facilitate a ground floor extension to the living area if desired and houses that have a roof space can be readily converted to provide additional living space.

 

• All houses are designed to meet Universal Design Lifetime Homes standards, with level access and a layout that allows the future provision of facilities that may be required
