High Street, Barwell, Leicester

The proposed site is situated along High Street, Barwell in the heart of the village conservation area. The proposal consists of three two bed traditional terraced properties, with a front door and living room window facing on High Street, with the kitchen and private garden to the rear. The fourth property is located to the northern boundary of the site and has been set back from the principle building line in order to respect the side windows to number 83 High Street. This property also forms an archway access from the High Street to the rear parking areas.The current site consists of one two storey building which has been used as a shop & off licence, to the rear and on the first floor there is residential living accommodation. There is also a garage with car standing area which has previously been used as a public car park associated with the shop. The existing building is to be demolished in order to erect the four two storey dwellings with vehicular access, parking & residential amenity space. Each property is approximately 70m2 over two floors. The scheme will deliver four much needed 2 bed units into the local housing supply, which will be affordable for young couples and first time buyers.
