Show more "The design of the scheme incorporates the Standards of Quality in Development from the National Housing Federation Guidance; The Urban Design Compendium; The Manual for Streets; The Homes and Communities Agency Non-Mainstream Housing Design Guidance with its literacy review, Lifetime Homes Standard and the work carried out by HAPPI with their ten design elements.Each dwelling is designed with a level access wet room, two bedrooms to allow for people to sleep separately when necessary or to allow for carers or relatives to stay over when required. Each dwelling has a 24 hour Life Line system installed which allows Newark and Sherwood Homes to provide quality support and personal service at all times.
Dwellings are built to the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4, giving careful consideration to the location of the kitchen units and windows to ensure that there are no difficulties with reaching distances. The air source and underfloor heating system is installed to reduce heating costs and allows the properties to become warmer and prevent accidental burns on radiators.
Patio doors exist within the dwellings to allow the occupants who may spend more time than most in a seated position to look outside and benefit from the daylight and connect with the outdoor environment. Most of the dwellings have a pleasant outlook across open country side and every dwelling has a private defensible space with the rear garden not being overlooked by any other dwelling.
All dwellings have the benefit of a private external storage facility which could be used to house a mobility scooter and sixteen of the bungalows will have car parking spaces located within the boundary. Nine bungalows which do not have parking within their curtilage, as they are arranged in a terrace, have their own private individual path from their car parking space to their front door." Show less
