Detailed consent for 2 dwellings in Arford, Bowcott Hill, Hampshire

The site sits just outside Arford’s village boundary and right next to its Conservation Area, a pretty rural hamlet set in a tree-lined valley. Mature trees and the historic character of the area meant any scheme had to be handled sensitively.

Arford has grown along its country lanes over the years, and our proposal followed that pattern. The two homes sit in generous plots, set back from the road behind existing hedging and trees. The land to the rear becomes a new wildlife area with native planting and wildflower meadow, and new trees are planted around the homes.
