DESIGN & EXPERTISE
Design Brief
The Rocks Green sustainable housing project in Ludlow, winner of the 2009 Sustainable Housing Award, addresses the pressing need for affordable housing in the area. Local evidence reveals a significant rise in applications, indicating a growing demand for affordable homes. House prices in Ludlow have outpaced local wage levels, making the housing market inaccessible to the average earner. A study conducted by Professor Alan Murie at CURS (Birmingham University) highlights the District of South Shropshire as a hotspot for unaffordability in the West Midlands Region. To tackle this issue, the District Council has conducted its own investigations and identified a need for 278 new affordable homes annually for five years. The selection of the Rocks Green site is a strategic response to these circumstances, aiming to provide sustainable and affordable housing for the community.
