We haven't posted in a little while, but there has been plenty going-on in the background, including feasibility studies, planning submissions and even a working drawings package for a scheme we gained planning consent for just over a year ago.
Here's a good example of what we do best though, which is getting the best out of a tight, urban infill site that will involve the redevelopment of a small commercial site that sits next to existing residential development.
The scheme offers articulated scale to the street frontage, with a mews development behind that visually steps-down in scale towards the rear of the deep, narrow site.
Aspect is very carefully controlled in order to design-out all potential overlooking to preserve the privacy of surrounding dwellings and their gardens. All new dwellings have thier own entirely private associated amenity space (terraces and gardens) and also comfortably surpass minimum space standards. Parking also meets residential standards and the scheme includes some significant landscaping that will not only visually soften the development, but will also easily satisfy Biodiversity Net Gain requirements.
The proposal is for ten dwellings and the scheme achieves a density of over 50 dwellings per hectare.
This really was a lovely little scheme to work on and will now be submitted for a pre-app, so we hope officers will see how hard we have worked to achieve a quality proposal for this really fantastic urban brownfield site
