The Lockies Site
The Community Association and local residents of South Kirkby worked with Beam and a Landscape Architect to develop a vision and outline plans for the future of a neglected site, formerly used for allotments.

The Proposed Plan Layout
Residents participated in several creative workshops to contribute their ideas and aspirations for the future of the site. As a result the community developed an outline plan, which involves housing, for an older demographic, parking for residents and some managed green space.
Plan: Tom Lonsdale, Placecraft.
Each bugalow is based on 55m2 per dwelling based from the advise Chevin Housing Association recommended. There are nine dwellings in total.
