The Monksbrook Estate is a phased estate regeneration programme of 237 mixed tenure dwellings for First Wessex Housing Association and a private developer partner, Barratt Homes. The development replaces outmoded stock with modern homes to a higher overall density. The public realm is an integral part of the solution, creating 'sense of place' and fostering community. The scheme received planning consent in just eight weeks, with unanimous approval from the committee. The first phase was completed in Summer 2014.
