"The mix of detached, semi-detached, mews and walk-up apartments creates a variety of density and a varied street scene of architecture and height."

It says the 21 affordable properties across the site 'will be indistinguishable from the open market properties creating a tenure blind street scene'.

According to the planning document, all houses are two or 2.5 storeys with some single-storey garages.

The development will comprise 10 one-bed properties, all of which will be affordable; 17 two-bed homes, seven of which will be affordable; 37 three-bed houses, four of which will be affordable and 55 four-bedroomed properties, all of which will be open-market.

The scheme includes 283 parking spaces.
