The planning permission application should be with Herefordshire County Council today or tomorrow. Gulp.
Tim at RRA has done a magnificent job on the drawings and the application document and it all feels "right".
We are biased of course, so someone else may look at it a different way, but when compared with the previous permission it seems difficult to imagine that anyone could view the new design as anything but a huge improvement on the previous (and approved) design.
Take a look at the cross section of the new design vs the design that currently has planning permission and you will see just how much better our design works with the landscape. This is in the Design And Access Statement Appendix (F) - see below for the links.
We now have to wait for 21 days for local feedback and for the Parish Council to comment. I think we have to wait for @ 8 weeks in total to get a decision from the Herefordshire County Council, so more waiting...
Here are the documents. Beware, they are large so may take some time to download.

I am a neighbour to this proposed development. Our house, boundaries and views feature in your document photos and simulations.
ReplyDeleteWe have never even met Mr Ingham.
Yet our boundaries touch.
Despite all the wordings of "Consultation", even a complete document to that effect, this blog is the first we have seen of the plans.
Welcome neighbour!
Hello "Chard". Someone has suggested that you are the owner of 1&2 Elm Tree Cottages?
ReplyDeleteBy now you should have received the info sent out to all local residents in the vicinity of the plot.
Hopefully from that you will see that the new design doesn't differ too much from the previous (approved) design in terms of the effect on the streetscape.
If you have any concerns please do contact me or the Tim at RRA Architects if you prefer. I will drop you line (email or letter) in case you don't see this.
Tim @ RRA Architects.
ReplyDeleteVery pleased to see the blog, its a useful record for the project and will serve as helpful advice for others wishing to make the most of the experience of making a new home.
I'm very pleased that you are so happy with the design and that the Neighbours on either side have pre-approved the new and improved design.
The home promises to make a very positive contribution to the beautiful setting of Wellington Heath. We all have our fingers crossed here at RRA architects :)
