Copenhagen Place is a Local Authority led infill scheme focused on the provision of family homes and community facilities within a dense city centre context. The proposals comprise the demolition of garages and the development of 16 residential units that range in size from 1 to 4 bedrooms and a ground floor community centre. The proposal to build on this land is part of a wider programme being undertaken by the Council in response to a severe shortage of affordable homes for rent for local people.

Half of the accommodation is proposed as 3 or 4 bedroom family accommodation as this represents the highest local need. New external amenity space was also provided in the form of a children’s place space, accessible to all local residents, which also opened up a view across the site to an adjacent canal.
