Aspire Housing is set to construct 42 flats in Silverdale after overcoming local objections. The project aims to provide much-needed affordable housing in the area.
Silverdale: Exciting news! Aspire Housing just got the go-ahead to build 42 flats. This comes after a bit of a planning tussle with local residents and the parish council.
The new flats will replace some old bungalows that were torn down last year. The plan includes a three-storey block and a few smaller buildings. Some locals were worried about the size and density of the project.
But the planning committee felt confident that the developers had addressed those concerns. Paul Latham from Aspire Housing assured everyone that the site is perfect for affordable housing.
He mentioned that the flats would meet all the necessary space standards. Plus, they’re planning to include 35 parking spaces, which should help with any future parking issues.
Some council members were really supportive of the project. They pointed out that it’s a great use of previously developed land and will add more rental options to the area.
There were still some worries about how the new buildings would fit in with the neighborhood. But the planning officer said there would be plenty of trees to help with that.
Overall, it seems like a win for those looking for affordable housing in Silverdale. The community is buzzing with the potential changes coming their way!
