Greener rebuild option for Les Grais
REDEVELOPMENT of a St Peter’s farm into five family homes has been given a green makeover.
Planning permission had already been granted to convert agricultural units at Le Grais Farm, off Rue de Quanteraine, into five dwellings.
But now a new revised application has been submitted by the Fuller Group to create five new-builds.
The revised scheme has more sustainability, a lower environmental impact and a reduction in the scale and spread of the buildings that exist at the moment.
The proposal offers a 50% reduction in the building volume and doubles the area of green space and planting, including extensive landscaping with native varieties at the boundaries.
The footprint of the houses has been contained within the same area of the approved conversion scheme. The new homes will include timber cladding, artisan brick, lime render and green roofs.
A statement from the Fuller Group and architects DLM said the development of houses in this location will enable the re-use of land with redundant buildings and provide homes in areas where demand is high and where there are very limited opportunities for new housing.
If approved, work could commence later this year, with completion by mid-2023.
