Brief
We formed part of the team which was invited to compile a planning application for a new country house in this sensitive Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Approach
Working with the landscape historians and archaeologists, we were able to show that the surrounding area was a neglected park and garden. We argued that restoring the house would re-establish the meaning of the designed landscape and create a new focal point.
