The scheme looks to redevelop the Paradise Depot site to provide affordable housing which will consist of a new apartment block of 56 one and two-bedroom homes and the site will include cycle and scooter storage and a residents’ garden. The Paradise Depot scheme is part of the council’s target to build 350 homes by 2026.
The homeless charity DENS currently resides at the Paradise Depot site and plans are also to include rehousing the charity into a brand new two story building. The charity supports individuals who are facing homelessness, poverty, and social exclusion to help rebuild their lives.
CBG Consultants were appointed to provide performance design and mechanical, electrical, public health, and sustainability consultancy services. Potential sustainability options proposed on the development include the use of air source heat pumps to provide renewable energy.
