Western Housing Site, Homerton College

In 2009 martindales were successful in securing a planning consent for 85 houses and flats on land between Homerton College and the main Cambridge-to-London railway line.

The site layout concept was based on the rich landscape present in that part of the college grounds, the curve of the present access road as it enters the site and numerous site constraints such as the key tree groups, the railway line (in terms of acoustic stand-off distances) sustainable drainage and nearby housing to the south.

When constructed this development will be highly sustainable, largely using ground source heat technology and solar panels fitted to each house roof.
