Summary
The Channels site contains a number of landscape features which were considered important for the enhancement and protection of species within the ecological environment such as great crested newts, badgers and reptiles. For a site with 280 plots and one apartment block building, we have designed a total of 12 different house types, each with up to three variations. The project is currently in the construction stage and progressing well.
