If you'd like to find out more about housing proposals in the Valley, try the Ouseburn Trust at the Ouseburn Resource Centre as a first port of call.

We carry the plans for developments currently going through the planning permission process, and often organise drop-in consultation days where you can talk to developers and architects. Most recently we ran a drop-in day about proposals for apartments on Hume Street, an application which has since been refused. Come and see the architect's boards for yourself!

We are also developers ourselves, and are currently working up proposals for 47 - 49 Lime Street and the vacant lot adjacent to it. Our designs so far include offices, work space, and live-work units with high environmental specifications. Come in to find out more!
