How we work with you
By working with the existing master plan or even as early as the outline planning stage, we can take an experienced review of the custom build site location and positioning to:
- Provide an evidenced based demand for custom build on the projects site. This is based on location, demographics and preferred plot, and house size demands. We then use this data to devise the correct housing mix for your site.
- Using our experience we can advise on the ideal areas for custom build
- Identification of what we believe to be the ideal Custom Build Plot locations and why
- Advise on plot sizes, what will sell and why they are popular self build plots
- What to avoid and why
Professionally Prepared Design Code
We will create an efficient layout, reflecting the custom build parcel relative to the main site masterplan. Providing access to individual purchasers to build their home from a range of plot sizes and build zones, giving them the opportunity to have primary input into the design in accordance with the legal definition relating to custom build.
Our service includes a comprehensive design code, referencing the custom build parcel in context to the main site design code and site-wide conditions.
Submitted as a Reserved Matters Application or similar, this provides the local planning officer the opportunity to establish guidelines for massing, height, form, principal elevations, boundary treatments and material choice as well as rules for parking, refuse and cycle storage amongst other criteria.
Conditional approval allows for a bespoke dwelling design choice on behalf of the purchaser, thereby early on, meeting the planning officers expectations.
