Arbora Homes is excited to announce the successful planning approval from Colchester City Council for its visionary housing development project on Plummers Road in Fordham, Essex.
The approval marks a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to providing high-quality, sustainable, and community-oriented living spaces.
The approved project encompasses the development of 17 thoughtfully designed houses, elegantly nestled within a landscape-led environment that pays homage to the local context and character of the area. This exciting venture reflects Arbora Homes’ dedication to creating homes that not only meet modern living standards but also enrich the fabric of the community.
“We are absolutely delighted to have received planning approval for our housing development on Plummers Road,” said Michael Reeves, Managing Director of Arbora Homes. “This project represents our unwavering commitment to blending timeless design principles with sustainable features that contribute positively to the environment. Our team has worked tirelessly to ensure that the development seamlessly integrates into the local surroundings while offering residents a harmonious and comfortable living experience.”
The project’s meticulous design by SPD Studio takes into account the needs of the local community, offering a diverse mix of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes to cater to various family sizes and lifestyles. The development’s layout prioritises natural light, privacy, and passive surveillance, creating a safe and inviting environment for residents. Additionally, a strong focus on sustainability ensures that the development aligns with current climate change mitigation and adaptation goals.
Arbora Homes’ commitment to sustainability extends beyond design, incorporating energy-efficient features such as highly insulated building fabric, passive solar design, and renewable energy sources. These initiatives underline the company’s dedication to reducing carbon emissions and creating homes that contribute positively to the environment.
The successful planning approval is a testament to Arbora Homes’ ongoing collaboration with local planning authorities, statutory consultees, and residents. By actively engaging with the community, the company has been able to refine the design and layout of the development, ensuring that it aligns with the needs and aspirations of Fordham’s residents.
Arbora Homes is proud to fulfil its affordable housing obligations by offering a mix of affordable rent and shared ownership properties within the development. This commitment to inclusivity reflects the company’s dedication to providing a range of housing options that cater to the diverse needs of the local community.
Dedicated to creating a development that enhances the quality of life for its future residents while harmonising with the rich heritage of the area, Arbora Homes looks forward to embarking on this exciting new chapter in Fordham, Essex.
