Show more "The existing Athol House building was built more than 35 years ago, with many small, bedsit-style flats, which do not meet modern standards – or residents’ aspirations.
The proposed new building will provide 34 good sized homes – 28 two bed apartments, 6 one bed apartments, compared to the 35 smaller homes in the old building.
The new building has been designed to encourage social interaction between the residents, and to offer them a sense of security.
The architects were asked to provide a development which meets local housing needs, and is also in keeping with the development ‘grain’ of the village, since the site sits just outside the Ponteland conservation area." Show less
