Wider Context Analysis

Topography / Scale / Density 

The map below looks at the site in the context of the wider local area – approximately 2.7-3.0 miles.

Topography / Flooding 
The site is generally flat. However the north-east corner falls down towards Sheene Road. The ground level immediately to the west rises steeply by about 5m - this higher plateau is shown hatched in the plan below.  The site lies outside Flood Zones 2 and 3. 

Scale 
This plan shows an analysis of the scale of the surrounding buildings, counted as the number of storeys above ground level. 

Density 
These proposals for 224 apartments achieve a density of 334 dwellings per hectare. 

In comparison, the density of recently approved residential schemes are as follows: 

• St Catherine’s Place (Plots 1-4) 667 dwellings/ha 

• Little Paradise 650 dwellings/ha 

• 1-2 Leicester Street 325 dwellings/ha 

• 60-66 East Street 294 dwellings/ha
