Holly Avenue

The two houses built on site were purpose-built for social rent in line with Three Sixty’s values – contracted by Viaduct Housing Partnership, the partnership between Stockport Homes Group and Stockport MBC.  

Following the brief from our client, Three Sixty worked on time and with minimal disruption to the surrounding areas – despite working through the pandemic.  

The Developments  

The houses were designed to fit with the surrounding properties and to make sure that the community aesthetic continued throughout the street. The team at Three Sixty worked closely with the client and the architects to deliver the intended results. 

Technical aspects

Going the Step Further 

Throughout the process, Three Sixty worked to ensure that we did everything to the highest standard, and that includes working with the neighbours. Though the community relations aspect permeated the entire duration of the project, some particular instances of best practice stand out.  

After requiring access to a neighbour’s garden to lay pipes for the new builds, the Three Sixty team provided free landscaping to the affected area to show that we care about the local community. The team had to access sewer pipes through the neighbour’s garden and as a result, had to remove decking and fencing to gain adequate access.  

Three Sixty replaced the garden with a modern patio and fencing to ensure that any disruption to the garden was made up for. While legally the team didn’t have to provide more than was already in place, it was decided that to maintain Three Sixty’s excellent reputation when it comes to community relations, going the step further than what is expected was the right move.  

As mentioned above, Three Sixty also built an extra parking space for residents of the street when developing the surrounding area, keeping congestion to a minimum and making sure that the new builds fit with the neighbouring houses as much as possible.  

In another example of Three Sixty’s continued commitment to the surrounding community, Three Sixty improved fencing surrounding the properties and installed extra street lighting to ensure that the development and surrounding street was safer and more secure following completion.  

Community Regeneration 

One of the most important aspects that the team considered for the Holly Avenue developments was the social impact that the houses would have. Before the project started, the site hosted a garage owned by the council, and the 390m2 area was unused.  

One of the main focal points of the project was ensuring that the properties fit in with the street, helping to add to a thriving local community and creating a space where two families could live.  

With the recent standard for new build houses in Stockport, the Three Sixty team also installed a bike shed to encourage cycling throughout the borough.  

In line with Three Sixty’s values, this development was built for social rent and helps to meet the diverse housing needs of Stockport Metropolitan Borough.
