DEVELOPERS behind controversial plans for housing plans on green space at Eggbuckland Community College have attempted to allay fears that residents have over the scheme.
Plans for 115 affordable homes, with a number of homes set aside for military veterans and key workers, have been put forward for what has been described as a 'wildlife green haven! The proposed aims for the plans for the site are to 'enable significant investment to improve educational and sporting facilities, which will be funded by selling the land for housing. They proved unpopular with some locals, who have raised concerns about what the scheme would mean for them.
A consultation event was held at the end of last month for locals to find out more about the proposed plans, which would see 13 acres of green space, formerly used by the school for sporting activities, be turned into housing. All 115 would be affordable, and the man behind the plans said that the scheme is needed to massively address a housing crisis in the city.
"There are north of 10,000 people on the housing list in Plymouth. Affordable housing is a very hot topic so we are looking to deliver 115 affordable homes here of which 40% will be shared ownership," Steve Smith, director of Spinnaker Land, said.
