Benefits

The proposed development will:

• Create a landmark new development for Steamer Point
• Deliver much-needed new homes on a vacant, brownfield site
• Rejuvenate a run-down site, which detracts from the local area
• Create an attractive new development for Christchurch, which also respects the amenity of neighbouring properties
• Retain a majority of the site’s trees and provide additional tree planting and landscaping, as well as ecological enhancements
• Deliver highways improvements to Penny Way
• Enable Pennyfarthing Homes to deliver a ‘bricks and mortar’ off-site affordable housing solution by building a policy-compliant number of affordable homes at a suitable, alternative site in the area
• Provide significant financial contributions, via the Community Infrastructure Levy, towards local infrastructure, highways improvements and heathland mitigation
