\n The proposal, put forward by Hartly Limited and designed by R&R Design Studio, would see the structure at a site on Church Lane, Awbridge, removed to make way for the new three-storey house.\n<\/p>\n
\n The substantial 1.58-acre plot will also see an extension of its residential boundaries.\n<\/p>\n
\n The developer said: “This application represents an opportunity to improve the character of the site through a carefully considered architectural response that is sympathetic to the area and designed to a high standard.\n<\/p>\n

\n “The design is site-specific, sympathetic to the surrounding built environment, and reflects the applicant\u2019s long-standing connection to the local area.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Through considered architecture, enhanced landscaping, and sustainable design principles, the proposal will significantly enhance the character and appearance of this part of Awbridge, delivering a home that adds architectural quality and long-term value to Danes Road.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The modern property will embrace Georgian-inspired architecture, boasting distinct features such as handmade brickwork, Portland stone details, and a slate-tiled roof.\n<\/p>\n
\n The house will be centrally located within the plot, encircled by landscaped gardens.\n<\/p>\n
\n The area, which is primarily residential, consists of detached houses with mature gardens and features a variety of architectural styles.\n<\/p>\n
\n The plot, which is mostly flat, has two existing vehicle access points, which are set to be modified.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Church Lane entrance will be retained and enhanced, while a new entrance will be crafted further south along Danes Road.\n<\/p>\n

\n The current Danes Road access point is planned for closure.\n<\/p>\n
\n Parking facilities will be significantly improved, increasing from two spaces plus a garage to eight parking bays, including spaces for visitors.\n<\/p>\n
\n The developers aim to create a highly sustainable home, expecting to surpass building regulations wherever feasible.\n<\/p>\n
\n In a nutrient assessment and budget report conducted by Aqua Callidus, they said: “The proposed development will yield a net nitrogen nutrient reduction of 9.30 KgTN\/yr and the proposed development therefore exceeds the balance point to achieve neutrality and no mitigation is required.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The new building will utilise high levels of insulation and airtightness, as well as incorporate low-energy lighting, flow-restricting taps, and dual-flush WCs.\n<\/p>\n
\n There is also potential for solar panels on the flat roof, and building materials will be locally sourced where possible.\n<\/p>\n
\n Additional greenery is promised around the home, although the project will involve the removal of some trees.\n<\/p>\n
\n The planning application was submitted on December 1, 2025, with neighbour consultations beginning on December 15, 2025.\n<\/p>\n
\n The decision determination deadline has been set for February 6, 2026.\n<\/p>\n
\n At the time of reporting, no public objections have been made on the planning application.\n<\/p>\n
