Greencroft, Buckinghamshire
2 new family homes on a Grey Belt infill site
Status - Planning
The development is for 2 new family homes on a Greybelt site in Buckinghamshire.
Working again with our clients Caswell & Dainow as well as MJP Planning, the project involves the development of an under-utilised large residential garden site to provide two much-needed new high-quality family homes. The site already accommodates several existing structures, and is situated in a sustainable suburban location.
The proposed three bedroom six person dwellings have been designed to provide large visual gaps between the buildings, maintaining open-ness to the Green Belt and offering breathing space to the site boundaries, whilst still relating well to the existing street-scene.
The entire development shall be carefully screened behind the existing established hedges that surround the site, ensuring privacy and habitat retention.
The proposed scheme unusually provides a good size double bedroom and shower room at ground storey. This design move significantly increases flexibility, aiding accessibility and opportunities for intergenerational living in this location.
Simple gabled forms with timber and brickwork detailing means the new homes will feel rooted in their Chiltern surroundings whilst remaining distinctly contemporary, positively contributing to a local sense of place.
The scheme is currently in planning.
