33313 Granted
Springwood Drive Whalley BB7 9XL Phase 2 Lawsonsteads
Changes to planning permission 3/2018/0914 for the erection of 188 new dwellings. House type C (Plots 73, 74, 75, 80, 81, 82) 4 bed with integral garage redesigned because the living space was felt to be significantly compromised. This typology has been replaced with a large detached 3 bed with no integral garage. House type D (Plot 157) has increased in area from 101m2 to 108.9m2. House type E (Plots 79, 86, 99, 102, 109, 113 previously House type D) to be replaced with a new 4 bed wide frontage house type. This means that the overall mix of property sizes remains unchanged. House type K (Plots 35, 36, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147) this property has slightly increased in footprint and a further window has been added to bedroom 2. Changes to layout: rearrangement of plots 82 - 84 inclusive has been updated to create a stronger street scene with larger properties now bookending the southern end of the crescent.
