dRMM have undertaken a review of the Brill Place design, with a view to optimise the capacity and unit mix. The key changes between the consented scheme and the proposed revisions include the optimisation of the layouts, reduction in the number of large duplexes and the provision of more units.
The below changes are subject to obtaining the necessary consents. This is indicative to illustrate the potential for unit mix and capacity changes and not an approved scheme. Prospective purchasers should obtain their own planning advice and make their own enquiries on any proposed changes to the consented scheme.
A copy of the optimised scheme is available on the dataroom.
