A pair of cost-effective three-bedroom semi-detached homes designed to make efficient use of garden amenity land while fitting comfortably within the existing street.
AVD was appointed to develop proposals for two three-bedroom semi-detached new-build homes on garden amenity land at Fivefield Road in Keresley, Coventry. The client wanted a straightforward residential scheme that made good use of the site while remaining cost-effective to build.
AVD carried out the feasibility design and then prepared and managed the Planning and Building Regulations stages through to approval.
There were no major site constraints, but the layout needed to respect the established front building line and respond to an angled section of the site boundary that reduced the available development width.
The relationship with the neighbouring property also needed careful consideration, particularly in maintaining right of light using the 45-degree line.
AVD developed the layout to maximise the available plot between the site boundaries while keeping the scale and appearance of the two homes in keeping with neighbouring properties.
The houses were designed with a simple, traditional character, including hipped roofs and chimneys to blend with the street. The scheme was deliberately kept practical rather than over-designed, helping the client achieve the required accommodation while keeping construction costs in mind.
Small revisions were made to the plans during the planning process before Planning Permission was secured. The approved scheme delivered the two three-bedroom semi-detached homes requested by the client, with a practical design that responded to the established street character and made efficient use of the available land.
The development was subsequently built, bringing the approved scheme through from feasibility and planning to completed homes.
