\n The land, which has been owned by the same family for over 50 years, is on\u00a0No. 10 Branksome Road.\n<\/p>\n
\n The designs for the two storey home have a contemporary look, featuring eco-friendly materials aimed at preserving the character of the area.\n<\/p>\n
\n The planning document says:\u00a0 “Over the years the plot has become overgrown and neglected.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The concept was to restore and enhance the land and put it to a more wholesome and respectful use as a modern family dwelling with a suitably well landscaped garden. ”\n<\/p>\n

\n Sustainable elements extend to a landscaped garden featuring fruit and herb gardens and provisions for sustainability and biodiversity, including rainwater run-off and soakaways, as well as ‘wildlife hotels’ and bird and bat boxes.\n<\/p>\n
\n The planning document says: “The architecture encompasses a variety of distinctive elements, often featuring slightly unconventional shapes and innovative details.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It will be built with sustainability in mind, using eco-friendly materials and aiming to blend in with the surrounding environment.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The architectural plans feature timber frames to reduce weight and support a self-build approach, minimising the carbon footprint.\n<\/p>\n
\n Solar power will also be harnessed from the south facing roof’s photovoltaic panels.\n<\/p>\n
\n Wide glazed areas will maximise natural light, minimising overall energy use.\n<\/p>\n
\n The house has been designed with accessibility in mind, with provisions for wheelchair users.\n<\/p>\n
\n The proposal aims to transform the humble garden plot into a self-sustained, family-friendly haven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The land, which has been owned by the same family for over 50 years, is on\u00a0No. 10 Branksome…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":500911,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-500910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500910"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500910\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/500911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
