A planning application has come forward for a "high quality" residential development in Stoke-on-Trent which will have a percentage of affordable homes.

Gleeson Regeneration Limited has applied for the "erection of 70 dwellings (including 27 affordable homes) with associated access, acoustic fencing and landscaping" on vacant land in Brindley Ford.

The 3.19 hectares site, to the east of Outclough Road and north of Peck Mill Lane, is currently vacant.

The properties would be a mixture of one, three and four bedroom homes and a total of 145 parking spaces are proposed as well as new vehicle access.

A total of 27 of the properties would be affordable (Image via planning application).

A Design and Access Statement submitted as part of the application says: "In addition to new housing, the proposals will also include the provision of substantial on-site open space, hard and soft landscaping, attenuation areas, play areas, road infrastructure and parking.

"A total of 27 (39%) affordable houses will be provided (a mix of 1 bed maisonettes and 2 and 3 bed houses). All affordable homes will be designed to be tenure blind and will be pepper-potted throughout the development to encourage a cohesive and integrated community.

"The proposed development of 70 new homes will make an important contribution to meeting housing need in the local area, including the provision of much needed affordable homes. This will be a high quality development that respects the local character and successfully responds to the constraints of the site."

A total of 145 parking spaces are proposed as well as new vehicle access (Image via planning application).

A decision is expected regarding these plans in the coming months; the full planning application can be viewed here.
