Executive summary from entrant:

This project delivers 19 high-quality affordable homes through the sensitive redevelopment of 11 outdated garage courts within a post-war estate in Petworth, South Downs National Park. In a highly constrained, high-value area, it demonstrates how planning can unlock meaningful affordable housing on previously developed land. Shaped through close collaboration with Hyde Housing Association, the scheme balances viability, design quality and community needs, while providing 196 additional parking spaces, improving safety and the public realm. With a 39.27% Biodiversity Net Gain and clear social benefit, it offers a replicable model for sustainable affordable housing delivery in National Park settlements
