Development of 8 new affordable homes on a former garage site.

As part of a wider review of Alliance Homes' garage sites, gcp produced a feasibility study for the redevelopment of this residential site in Yatton.

The scheme design for 8 new homes was then developed in tandem with thermal modelling, also carried out by gcp, to test the energy performance of the homes.

The scheme transforms an underused brownfield site into a high quality, efficient and contemporary development. The homes are designed with small families in mind and gardens to suit. The design includes large south-facing openings with brise-soleils to prevent overheating in the hotter months. EPC A is achieved through good performance thermal fabric and AWHP powered by the PV panels, resulting in homes which are very low cost to run.
