Landscaping
Landscaping will be an important element of the scheme bearing in mind the position and
location of the shared private drive. Landscaped areas will be provide at the entrance to the
site and along the existing public footpath. There are areas of existing landscaping on the
main road frontage that are not within our clients ownership, and cannot therefore be
included within the scheme proposals.
The route through the site on the existing public footpath will be open and naturally surveyed by
windows from habitable rooms. The orientation and design of plot 1 is such that it has 3 frontages
giving the maximum potential of surveillance. The location of rear gardens for plots 1 and 2 has
been purposely designed to limit the amount of blank boundaries facing this public area. The
entrance to the shared drive way will be overseen by habitable windows from plot 3 and the
converted public house, together with plot 2 providing a presence to the far end of the drive.
The opportunity has been
taken to provide new
feature trees within the
gardens of plots 1, 2 and 3,
which will have enough
room to grow without
affecting existing and
proposed properties in the
future.
