Ocean Village Wins Detailed Planning Consent

Published on 19 April 2007

Ocean Village, a mixed-use residential scheme in Southampton for Linden Homes Southern, has received detailed planning consent.

The development of the 0.5 ha brownfield site forms an integral part of the quayside regeneration and comprises 130 apartments arranged in 3 blocks around a communal landscaped courtyard with views across the marina. The courtyard, which sits above a two deck car park, is hidden from view behind commercial and live-work units and creates an active frontage to new pedestrian routes and a public square at the waterfront edge.

A standalone Innovation Centre provides 25,000 sq ft of versatile office space. The design combines a collage of buildings with a contemporary palette of materials reflecting Southampton's context and includes white coloured render, timber and copper coloured cladding as well as buff brick. All apartments will include balconies and terraces with views across the marina and Southampton city centre.

The project involved extensive consultation with Southampton City Council Planning Department and is anticipated to start on site in October 2007.
