Leitch Street, Greenock

Communities Scotland funded Cloch Housing Association to commission 87 units of housing for rent and 2 special needs units to be design on sustainable principles, adjacent to a railway line. The site had a history of flooding, and the drainage infrastructure was at capacity so E&Co designed the first SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage System) to be adopted by a local authority in Scotland, which enabled the development and has proved to mitigate flooding in adjacent areas.
