Consultation launches on plans for more Stevenage homes

Stevenage Borough Council wants to build 38 homes on land off Clovelly Way, including 24 three and four-bed houses and 12 one and two-bed flats.

The council says the proposed scheme will be a mixed development of private sale housing and affordable accommodation which will be retained by the local authority, but that "the final mix has yet to be determined".

The scheme includes 75 parking spaces.

Councillor Jeannette Thomas, deputy leader of the council and portfolio holder for housing and housing development, said: "We are working hard to combat homelessness in Stevenage.

"There is a high number of people waiting for properties on our council housing register, hence the reason for schemes consisting of mixed tenure properties.

"Consultations help us to engage with the local community. They’re extremely important and ensure the developments we build incorporate your views and expectations while fitting seamlessly into the surroundings.

"Please submit your ideas and tell us how you feel."

Once any necessary design amendments have been made, a full planning application will be submitted to the planning authority - Stevenage Borough Council - for review.

If planning permission is granted, it is expected to take 24 to 30 months to complete the scheme.
