The opportunity

Unlocking a substantial garden site through considered infill.

The proposal uses the depth and changing levels of the site to establish a small, private residential setting while retaining the existing dwelling and creating a sensitive relationship with neighbouring homes.

Development vision

A distinctive group of homes shaped by the site.

The scheme combines single-storey and two-storey dwellings, varied plot sizes and generous landscaping to respond to neighbouring scale, topography and outlook.

The brief

To explore the residential potential of land within the grounds of 11 Sytch Lane and prepare an integrated planning and architectural proposal for a small housing development.

Planning challenge

The site required a response to its tapered shape, changing levels, existing access, neighbouring gardens and the need to introduce new homes without creating an over-intensive or visually intrusive form of development.

CJZ strategy

The design process combined topographical information, access planning, plot testing and a varied dwelling mix. Lower bungalow forms were used where a reduced scale was appropriate, while larger family homes were positioned deeper within the site.

Design response

The scheme creates a legible private road with landscaped turning areas and individually defined plots. A consistent architectural language connects the development, while variation in footprint, orientation and height responds to the particular conditions of each part of the site.

Project status

The website presents the proposed development and design material supplied for project reference. It does not state a planning outcome.
