The site is fairly level, mostly laid to lawn with mature shrub planting and around six trees of note. The trees along the boundary with Westbourne Crescent are considered to be 'amenity trees'. The felling of any trees in a conservation area will require permission. Expert arboricultural advice will be required whether the trees are retained or not as the amount of available land for building is restricted by thetree crwons and roots systems (zone of influence).

The site is overlooked by the neighbouring dwelling (No 13) but a mature tree helps to screen the site from the bay windows. The design of any new dwelling would need to take account of planning guidleines in relation to right of light (see diagram above).

The site extends beyond the enclosed garden to include the sloping wooded bank down to Ty Mawr Road. It is likely that building on this bank will be resisted by the planning authority.

The site is partially overlooked by the neighbour to the north. The location of any new dwelling would have to recognise planning guidleines in respect of privacy and overlooking.

SIte Layout extending 'wing' provides privacy to private garden

new dwelling

The proposed dwelling is simple modern and sustainably designed.

The main axis lies NE-SW to maximise exposure to views and afternnon sunshine, and to provide the greatest amount of privacy to the private back garden.

Access from the street is through a new gateway cut into the brick boundary wall and leads to a car port adjacent to the front entrance which is clearly visible. Easy access to the utility area is also possible.

secure side access sun deck garage demolished and boundary walls structures repaired

It is proposed to retain as many mature trees and shrubs as possible. This wikll ease progress through the planning process but will help the new dwelling to blend into its location which is a sensitive conservation area.

Design Principles The proposed dwelling is simple modern and sustainably designed.

Rectilinear forms are easily prefabricated and assembled for economy and efficiency.

Use of large high performance glazing units transmit light but require solar shading and control - the use of overhangs and louvres is necessary to reduce the risk of overheating in summer.

The use of a reflecting pool can add delight and more reflected light deeper into the plan.

The suggested materials shown are renewable and low maintenance.

All spaces are designed to Lifetime Homes standards.

The legible design and hierarchy of privacy will ensure Secured By Design standards are met.

Fabric first energy efficiencies can be achieved with the design which will enable close to zero carbon usage with the addition of pv cells.
