Seckar House is an original small Arts and Crafts cottage which has been unsympathetically extended over the years. The family moved into the property in 2014 with a view of creating home that can accommodate the family’s current and future needs and best met planning policy objectives.
The main issues this site faces:
-
They are situated in Green Belt
-
It is part of a conservation area
-
There are matters surrounding the character of the landscape
After detailed feasibility studies the conclusion was to demolish the current buildings to create a more sustainably, modern home that was multi-generational and with architectural merit that would blend with the sensitive SSI woodland setting.
Crowley Associates carried out a baseline analysis of the site, worked with the architects (CE + CA) to create a design and access statement, before arranging a round of pre-application engagement before preparing a pre-application to submit.
Following the success of the pre application, a full planning application has now been submitted.
