Four-House Development & Change of Use in Desford, Leicestershire

A four-home residential development on Lindridge Lane, combining a change of use from a cattery with a site layout designed around existing trees and its open countryside setting.

Project Overview

AVD was appointed to prepare proposals for the development of four detached houses on Lindridge Lane in Desford, including a change of use from a cattery to residential use.

AVD prepared the planning drawings and managed the Outline Planning application through to determination.

The Challenge

The site presented several planning constraints, including existing trees, its open countryside setting and the change of use required to enable residential development. The layout therefore needed to accommodate four new homes while responding carefully to the existing site features.

Our Approach

AVD developed a site layout that positioned the proposed homes clear of the existing trees, helping the scheme work with the established landscape rather than against it.

The houses were also arranged so that their rear elevations looked out towards the surrounding countryside, making use of the site’s wider setting within the overall layout.

The Outcome

Planning Permission was approved for the proposed development of four detached houses and the associated change of use to residential.

What We Did

Our work included:

  • Planning drawings
  • Outline Planning application management through to determination
