The scheme will deliver 102 houses and 102 apartments.<\/p>\n<p>With residents\u2019 support, Clarion took the decision in 2017 to regenerate the Barne Barton estate due to the quality of the housing stock. The properties suffer from poor insulation, damp and condensation plus the layout of the blocks does not utilise the open space and views in the area.<\/p>\n<p>The estate, which was once the largest naval settlement in the country, will benefit from new community spaces and a new pedestrianised \u2018green route\u2019 running through the development. Residents who wish to remain on the estate will be rehoused in the new scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Bob Beaumont, director for regeneration at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarionhg.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clarion Housing Group<\/a>, said:\u00a0\u201cWe are thrilled that Plymouth City Council has backed our plans to transform the Barne Barton estate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur vision is to create a truly vibrant and sustainable community which will bring long term social, economic and environmental benefits to Plymouth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s news is in large part due to the work of our residents who been influential in helping us to shape these plans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to work with residents and Plymouth City Council to turn our vision into a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Plymouth MP Johnny Mercer, commented:\u00a0\u201cThis is huge news. When I go knocking on doors in Plymouth the demand for good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/tag\/affordable-housing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">affordable housing<\/a> is always number one or two on their lists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy team have worked tirelessly to improve the offer to residents in Barne Barton \u2013 all of our expectations have been exceeded by Clarion in bringing this scheme forward. It will deliver genuine improvements to the lives of hundreds of Plymothians \u2013 today is a good day for them and I\u2019m delighted to have played my role in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The scheme was boosted with a \u00a3450,000 grant from the government\u2019s estates regeneration fund and has already scooped two national awards for its approach to planning and design.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clarion Housing Group has been granted full planning permission by Plymouth City Council to regenerate the Barne Barton estate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[666,572,656,649,669],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-59845","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-affordable-housing","8":"tag-housebuilding","9":"tag-housing","10":"tag-planning-applications","11":"tag-regeneration"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Barne Barton regeneration gets the green light<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Clarion Housing Group has been granted full planning permission by Plymouth City Council to regenerate the Barne Barton estate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/barne-barton-estate\/59845\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Barne Barton regeneration gets the green light\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Clarion Housing Group has been granted full planning permission by Plymouth City Council to regenerate the Barne Barton estate\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/barne-barton-estate\/59845\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
