An application was approved for the redevelopment of the former ‘Little Monkhams’ site at the junction of Monkhams Lane, Orchard Lane and Princes Avenue. The proposals deliver three large detached family homes designed by Stephen Davy Peter Smith Architects, combining red multi-brick, clay tiles and timber detailing to complement the area’s suburban character. Extensive landscaping, including the planting of 52 new trees, will enhance biodiversity and create a verdant setting, transforming a long-derelict plot into a high-quality residential environment with generous gardens and carefully considered design.
