GHA is working with a large country estate to develop a site to provide key-worker housing for the landowner's tourism venue. The site is very sensitive, being located in open countryside adjacent to a Grade 2 Listed farmhouse. Not all of the farmyard area is being developed: a substantial area will be landscaped, providing both a visual and an ecological buffer between the new housing and the open countryside.
There will be a total of 19 self-contained units, in a mix of cottages and apartments, with some of the apartments being formed from the conversion of a Listed timber-framed barn. Whilst each self-contained unit will have its own private garden, there will also be a well-sized, landscaped communal garden, providing the opportunity for the residents to meet and socialise with their colleagues.

Designed by London based Formation Architects and completed in 2013 the development has won numerous housing design awards.
Our client approached us after failing to get permission with another company. Due to neighbour objections and concerns regarding setting a precedent, as the first alteration in the estate the scheme went to the planning committee.
GHA successfully gained the support of council urban planning consultant and achieved planning consent at committee by using the same design language as the original scheme and creating an extension that is visually lightweight.

Last week we posted some photos of a project on site in Stapleford. A one-off contemporary house being constructed by a private developer. This photo is of another scheme we completed with the same developer last year. The houses were completed to an exceptionally high standard, and have been described by a leading property consultant as some of the ‘finest new homes in or around Cambridge’. The development in Stapleford looks set to achieve the same level of quality.⠀
