Planning Application Submitted in Christchurch, Bournemouth: Development of a rear garden plot for a pair of semi-detached bungalows.

Studio Homer is pleased to have begun the planning process to develop a back garden plot within the New Forest District Council local authority area.

The garden plot sat at the edge of the Hintonwood Station. After an initial design meeting, we established that the site was suitable for two semi-detached dwelling dwellings. While the plot could accommodate detached units, our analysis of the street suggested a longer attached form would be more in keeping with the station houses.

With the station buildings being of significant character to the area, our proposal aimed to be sensitive in design to preserve the hierarchy of the street. This was achieved by setting the units further back into the site than we traditionally would and designing the elevation with a low ridge line.

The local planning authority, New Forest District Council (NFDC), had failed to meet their requirement for a supply of land to meet the housing demand. With a clear housing shortage in the area, we are confident that proposing an architectural solution that respects the sensitive character of the area would result in a favourable application.

The proposal has now been submitted to NFDC Council (New Forest District Council) for their approval.
