Planning approval for a new build low energy home
We have recently achieved planning success on a project in Somerset and looking forward to construction commencing shortly.
The proposed house is located on the edge of a small town just outside of the development boundary line. A pre-application enquiry demonstrated how well the site sits within the built environment and whilst it was technically classed as open countryside the site reflected a more urban pattern, reinforced by a stone barn and timber outbuildings within the curtilage.
The new build dwelling will include a highly insulated envelope, triple glazed windows and air tight detailing to minimise heat loss. An air source heat pump will provide underfloor heating and hot water, solar panels will reduce energy consumption.
The architectural style is a subtle contemporary interpretation of a timber framed barn with a traditional form and simple window openings to frame views over the adjacent fields and distant countryside.
