Homes for Good
Curo has outline planning permission to build up to 280 homes, including 30% affordable housing, on land on Somerton Road in Street.
Curo acquired the site from Nine Square Trust in November 2023 and is hoping to start construction in 2025. The development will offer a variety of housing options for residents including up to 84 affordable homes.
The site is located along Somerton Road in the southeast of Street, bordered by residential land to the north and open green space to the south.
Street has a serene and beautiful natural environment & we are dedicated to preserving and enhancing these features.
Our approach will look to safeguard the natural elements of the area, such as established trees and hedgerows. A central wetland area will serve as a focal point for the development, featuring integrated play areas and boardwalks for residents to enjoy. The scheme will also offer new play areas for families to enjoy, as well as community orchards and allotments for those with green fingers.
The new homes in Street will be highly sustainable, with air source heat pumps and solar panels to heat and power the homes as well as EV charging.
To bring our vision to life, we have enlisted the expertise of several designers and consultants. Their collective skills and experience will contribute to the creation of a well-designed and sustainable neighbourhood.
The team includes David Rhodes Architects, Focus Engineers, Landmark Landscape Architects, and Tyler Grange Ecologists.
