The Channels: housing development

The Channels housing development site comprises 280 plots and one apartment block building. We designed a total of 12 different house types, each with up to three variations. We also had to bear in mind 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.
