The housing demand in the area is for large family groups and the mix of house types was developed to cater for this demographic. The district consists of predominantly 19th Century brick terraced houses with frontages directly off the pavement.
A terrace form was adopted with garage spaces provided between homes at ground floor, but at first and second floor levels the dwellings link together. Mono pitched roofs are orientated to facilitate the installation of solar panels. The scheme is designed to achieve an Eco-Home excellent rating
