The over-riding strategy is to create a cluster of individual buildings (rather than one ‘estate’ of identical ones) that uses a common palette of elements, eg brick, windows and balconies. The principal elevation material is brick to all buildings. In the main this will be a red ‘multi’ facing brick.
