Land for sale in Ledbury HR8, 0 Bedroom

We are delighted to offer 'For Sale' this single Building Plot having Outline Planning Permission (now lapsed/expired but, should be readily achievable again; and a sale can be made, subject to a successful 'Pre-Application' to the local authority). Original approval was for the erection of a Two-storey Three Bedroom 'Contemporary' bespoke detached dwelling as per the application Ref P132431/F, dated 3/09/2013, and the plans submitted with it, subject to conditions set out in documents and schedules we have on file.

The design of the proposed new dwelling aims to be an example of the best in sustainable contemporary bespoke one-off housing and seeks to attract a modern-minded buyer. The concept of the a semi-buried ground floor aims to reduce the overall mass and impact of the dwelling and also allows the ground floor to benefit from the heat retention capacity of the surrounding earth and the benefits of a partially earth-sheltered design.

The main articulated mass of the building is designed to be perceived as the lightweight timber box that sits upon a heavier and smaller stone-faced base level, thus providing a small undercroft parking area to the North half of the new site area.
The sloped gradient of the proposed new drive accords with the highways design guide for a new private drive and allows for some areas of the site to still be retained as open landscaping.

The West facing elevation of the proposal is largely glazed to make best use of the views across Ledbury and the surrounding countryside. The sides and rear remain modestly glazed or entirely unglazed to provide natural light for utility and privacy screening as required and dictated by the detached suburban character of the surrounding development.

The roof form of the proposed first floor timber box is proposed to be a highly-insulated flat roof construction with the potential for a green-roof finish. The height of this roof is proposed to be at the finished floor level of the existing house currently existing and retained on site. This is so that the proposed new dwelling does not compromise the existing dwellings current enjoyment of views to the West (a green roof finish will further assist with the blending' of the proposed new dwelling into the landscape). In further support of minimal impact on the existing dwelling; the narrow pedestrian access path to the North side of the site was proposed to be retained (and improved) as part of the development, so that there is practically no net impact on the existing dwelling as a result of the proposed development.

As a location the plot is within easy reach of Ledbury`s amenities and we advise your early interest to avoid missing out on this opportunity.
