A development comprising of 27 new homes has been approved in Peterborough.

Two seperate planning applications have been approved on the site of 83-85 London Road.

First, the refurbishment of number 83-85, as well as the construction of a new link extension has been approved which will provide 15 new flats. This includes ten one-bed two person units and five two-bed four person units.

Then to the rear of the properties, the erection of 12 further homes, comprising of 3 pairs of semi-detached houses as well as six flats, has also been approved.

The application states: “The site development represents an opportunity to rejuvenate the existing street scene without exceeding the general density of building along the London Road side.

"The proposals have been thoroughly considered, taking into account viability, visual impact, mass, and accessibility. The proposed new elements take cues from both the immediate (including the existing buildings onsite) and the wider contexts resulting in a proposal both architectural engaging whilst appropriate to the setting.”

A total of 16 car parking spaces would be provided at the front and rear of the development.

The application can be viewed on Peterborough City Council’s planning portal using reference 23/00725/FUL.
