Village Extension, South Oxfordshire

Village Extension South Oxfordshire

Originally working with Lytle Associates architects for The Oratory School in 2016, DA provided the LVIA report and landscape strategy for a 25unit residential development in a Village Conservation Area extension site within the AONB. Having gained the initial approval DA were then retained by Rectory Homes to progress the detailed landscape and tree condition application scheme for the extended 34 unit 1.48ha site including the adjacent former Woodcote Garden centre.  The successful landscape submission included an enhanced landscape framework retaining the managed TPO tree canopy with mature hedgerow envelope while creating a new inner greenspace linked by public footpaths to the village hub. The built-out Darnell Place is now fully occupied

The Croydon Council housing intensification policy guided DA and the successful design team for the 7 unit apartment scheme for The Purple Pepper Partnership.

The application led by WSPA exploited the significant site topography while respecting the local street pattern and mature tree canopy.

DA provided landscape and tree protection advice in a scheme that included communal allotments and play space.

We continue to work with WSPA on a number of projects across the south-east in the residential/ leisure and private sectors.

As the government places more emphasis on infrastructure, developments such as motorists’ services will come under the planning spotlight.  Achieving the correct balance between commercial viability and acceptable siting, design and external appearance is critical in planning success. Working for Lamron (Holybourne) Ltd, DA advised the design team on the proposed A31 motorists’ services on landscape impact and design through public consultation to full planning submission. The illustration by Fibonacci architects shows a terraced layout set within a reinforced landscape envelope.

DA is also involved in infrastructure projects near Gatwick and Heathrow airports.
