20 SMALL DEVELOPMENTS PROJECT REPORT
THE HOMES ALL FEATURE HIGH PERFORMANCE RECYCLED PVCU DOUBLE- GLAZED WINDOWS
The overall design of the homes externally was inspired by the locale, “rooted in a modern interpretation of the local vernacular,” explains Long. “Modern country living with a contemporary twist.” Natural materials were utilised wherever possible to refl ect the surrounding landscape, such as stone, slate and timber, “while contemporary detailing ensures the homes feel current rather than pastiche,” adds Long.
The lower eaves and ridges on the homes have been designed to “melt into the landscape,” and occasional small windows were included to emphasise the rural cottage feel, as well as help frame the views of the surrounding countryside and landscape.
The homes all include contemporary Agate grey front doors and high performance recycled PVCu double glazed windows. Lindab zinc-coated gutters feature on every property, as does a video doorbell for added security and peace of mind for residents. Block paved driveways help add to the overall high-end feel of the development, and homes that include a garage feature an automated up-and- over door. nternally, homes are fi nished to a high standard including British-built kitchens with quartz worktops, Miele appliances,

A large portion of the existing green space on the development was retained, with other landscaping work intentionally designed to refl ect the surrounding environment. Wherever possible existing hedgerows and trees were retained, protected and enhanced, and all homes feature biodiversity measures such as bee bricks made from recycled Cornish clay and bat and bird boxes. The measures have resulted in the required biodiversity net gain (BNG) being delivered onsite. The homes have been built using traditional masonry construction, which took place with minimal disruption to the neighbouring holiday users, despite the site’s restricted access. “Careful planning and sequencing allowed us to maintain
