Planning Insights:
1 months at planning
Graven Hill is a Council owned self and custom build development. The self-build plots at Graven Hill all come with a Plot Passport. The Local Development Order sets out the guidelines. If you comply with location, height, size and finishing materials, there should be no barriers in securing planning. The plots are serviced by Graven Hill and the foundations are provided.
Unfortunately, the delivery of Graven Hill has turned to volume house building. Foundations are unnecessarily expensive and the company has not stuck to their commendable intentions from 2015.
Every room has a direct vertical route to the heat exchanger, a steel superstructure holds the plant in the roof to emit the need for mechanical pumps. The stairwell acts as an internal stack chimney.
The height restriction was 8.1m. To fit three stories, they had to minimise floor depths and use steel in the roof. The shape of the house is boxy to minimise surface area and to maximise efficiency.
