A\u00a0Full Planning Application has been submitted to East Hants District Council for the construction of two new Contemporary homes for one of our private clients.<\/p>\n
The site in Four Marks, Hampshire, is surrounded by protected trees whose Root Protection Zones cover almost the entire site. Use of a piled foundation system with suspended ground floor slabs lifted out of the ground will prevent damage to the roots and will ensure that ground water is still able to get to the roots.<\/p>\n
The use of additional insulation, tight air-leakage limits, whole house ventilation with heat recovery, air source heat pumps and wood burning stoves with LED lighting throughout will mean that the energy usage of these buildings is kept to a minimum.\u00a0 Locally sourced sweet chestnut cladding\u00a0and rainwater harvesting utilising the space below the ground floor slabs add to the environmental credentials of these houses. As the sweet chestnut weathers and silvers naturally the sculptural houses will blend further into their woodland setting.<\/p>\n
Adjacent to\u00a0the A31, acoustic screening and a heavy masonry structure will limit noise from one side of the site while the north of the site will benefit positively from the passing\u00a0sound of the occasional train along the adjacent\u00a0Watercress Line, a volunteer and enthusiast run local steam train line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
