Plans foresee 41 parking spaces with 21 reserved for residents. A total of 42 per cent will be “affordable” which totals eight flats; of that  hree flats are social housing and two shared ownership.

    • It used to be a girls stage school, and at one point a stop for horses, the old stage lift generator is in the kitchen under a strap door

      • It wasn’t a stage school and it wasn’t a stop gor horses. It wasn’t built until 1937 and was well off the main road, so no passing trade. It was purely built to serve the new estate built at the same time.
