Brentwood Borough Council Affordable Housing

Brentwood Borough Council has a large number of under-utilised garage sites throughout the area. The initial project, Fawter’s Close, was so well received
that the Council enlisted Frankham for 5 additional sites, deemed to be high priority for Brentwood. Three of these will contain housing and the other two will be parking spaces.  Additional sites are likely to be added in the future.
Creating feasibility studies in Sketchup and then taking these to further design development in Revit enabled the client to gain a greater understanding of their options. Several of the sites are for 65s and above. This will free up other council housing that might be better suited for younger and larger families. All sites will be managed by the Council, thus durability and ease of care is of utmost importance.
Overlooking concerns added a significant level of challenge to the projects.

Site Plan

Picture
Overall Site Plan at the initial property, Fawter’s Close, shows the very dense residential setting. Stakeholder Engagement was a very important component of getting the neighbours behind the project. Examining the site constraints of overlooking and required setbacks left a challenging area to work within.


Floor Plan

Picture
The final design encompassed two semi-detached bungalows with a small courtyard between. As this is for 65 and older, the study / carer room was incorporated into the design.
