Location

Local Authority
Oldham Council
Plot Type
Urban Infill Site
Our Role
Full architectural service including concept design, planning consultant, and technical design lead. We supported the project from initial feasibility through to construction documentation.
Challenge
Unlocking the potential of a vacant infill site in Oldham to deliver high-quality family housing, while addressing local planning constraints around scale, character, and privacy.
Approach
We secured planning permission for five detached homes, each designed to maximise usable space and ensure a strong sense of privacy between plots. The architectural language was carefully considered to complement the surrounding context while maintaining construction efficiency and cost control.
Solution
By balancing contemporary design with local character, we delivered a residential scheme that meets planning expectations and market demand. We also provided full construction drawings to support a smooth transition from planning approval to on-site delivery: demonstrating our end-to-end capability across design and technical stages.
