Kingston Bypass, Hinchley Wood (145 Homes)

The consultation was busy. And very, very loud. Two headlines, really: traffic of course fully understood, and relationships as there were a lot of neighbours bounding the site, who were all very sensitive about having new houses backing onto their gardens. An ex-MoD site which had been covered in ugly single-storey Nissen huts, the resulting development of 145 dwellings of a simple arts and crafts influenced elevational palette is ‘Successful Suburbia’; easy on the eye and highly sought after.
