The proposal was contentious as it would see a fairly large home built on a relatively small plot on the edge of a conservation area. Through a process of diagrams and communication with the local authority, we were able to demonstrate decisions that had been made to limit the development's potential harm to its local surroundings.

The replacement dwelling had been carefully designed to mimic the layout of the existing bungalow with only slight increases. This resulted in less new concrete needing to be poured and limited the loss of habitat from an ecological perspective.

The road facing elevation was redesigned several times in conjunction with the local conservation officer in order to provide an arrangement of fenestrations that was in keeping with the village aesthetic.
