A Balanced Community
Our homes will provide a new neighbourhood for Rugby with a mix of house sizes to create a community for people at all stages of life.
The proposal includes 51 Social Rent homes and 34 Shared Ownership homes, providing more housing choices for local people.
The homes will be a mix of houses, apartments and maisonettes. The housing provided will be mostly semi-detached. The maisonettes have independent front doors, and the apartments are in 3 storey buildings to minimise service charges.
The proposal includes the following homes:
| House Type | Number |
|---|---|
| 1 bedroom apartments | 9 |
| 2 bedroom apartments | 21 |
| 1 bedroom maisonettes | 22 |
| 2 bedroom houses | 14 |
| 3 bedroom houses | 19 |
The homes will provide new accommodation for approximately 290 people as opposed to the current capacity of 190, therefore delivering more opportunity to meet significant housing need.
