## Notice

Full design and construction of residential Lifetime Homes Standard bungalows, together with a single community meeting room building. 80% of the development should consist of 1 bedroom bungalows and 20% 2 bedroom. All elements of the development should conform to British Standard BS EN 17210:2021 Accessibility and Usability of the Built Environment and Tendring District Council's policy on net zero carbon emissions. It should also meet the Lifetime Homes Standards in order to be designated as such. The Council has a zero carbon policy and is keen to see as many effective energy saving measures used across the development as possible. The Council is also keen to promote innovation and welcomes proposals that adopt modern methods of construction, sustainability and off-site manufacture. Design should be considerate to local style, on a domestic scale and use sympathetic but durable materials. Whilst bungalows have been specified, the Council are open to a design of two storey properties, provided they are fully accessible or capable of future adaptation.
