A budget for the 54 zero carbon rented homes at Rainbow Way (off Seaward Way) was recently approved by Full Council and work is now progressing on the plans.
Local residents are being asked to give their opinions on the proposals in a survey starting 4 January 2021, and running until 15 January 2021.
Comments will help inform the planning application which will then be submitted for consideration, with the aim of starting the two-year build in summer 2021.
The scheme will include 10 two bedroom houses, 7 three bedroom houses and 2 four bedroom houses along with 17 one bed and 15 two bed apartments. There will also be 1 wheelchair adapted two bed apartment and 2 wheelchair adapted chalet bungalows. The apartments will all have balconies, some with sea views, and there will be a play area in the centre of the development.
The homes will be built using the latest innovations in environmentally friendly construction and design, making them very energy efficient.
The site will be fossil fuel free, with hot water and central heating supplied primarily using on-site renewable sources. Charge points for electric vehicles will also be provided.
