Morden Street (Orchard Estate)

What we're thinking about building on this site

At Morden Street we are building:

• Four three-bedroom houses
• Two two-bedroom houses
• A communal outdoor green space

Each house will have a front and rear garden, and the development will replace the existing 19 garages, which will be turned into the communal outdoor space.

There will be direct access to this space from the existing rear gardens, and the rear gardens of the new houses which border it.

Footpaths will be relocated, so that the route between Lewisham Road and Morden Street moved behind the new houses, to the south edge of the proposed communal amenity garden.

To the side and front (opposite the playground) of the new houses will be another new footpath primarily for residents and visitors to access the new houses.

The emergency vehicle access will be from Morden Street via the existing garage site access and there will be room for vehicle turning on the site. 

Bin collection could be from the garage site or Lewisham Road where there is an existing collection point for the row of terraced houses to the east.

These homes would be built to zero carbon standards, with a contemporary design.
