The company plans to build eight detached two-bedroom homes, with associated landscaping and 16 car parking spaces, according to its application.
The new two-storey properties will feature clay tiled roofs, window bays and decorative tile hanging, while there will be 41 new trees are proposed around the site.
Plans state that the homes will be able to incorporate insulated roofs, walls and floors, double glazed windows, air source heat pumps, solar panels and electric vehicle charging points.

Orchid’s design statement reads: “The layout, built form and appearance have been sensitively designed to respond to the site’s surrounding characteristics.”
