Planning Permission for Modular Housing Scheme in Liverpool 31.08.18

A development of 19 terraced houses in Baycliff Road, Liverpool, designed by Haworth Tompkins for Osco Homes gained approval from the LCC planning committee at its meeting on 28 August 2018. The project is a cost-effective alternative to traditional construction, with the houses manufactured off site as pre-fabricated modular externally finished cassette panels. The panel system is assembled on site, in approximately 12 hours per unit, saving time on site and reducing the requirement for temporary access. Flexibility and the possibility of end-user customisation are central to the project, this manifests itself as a standardised core with interchangeable plan and elevation options – including a dormer or Velux window type to improve utilisation of roof spaces.
