Location: Seaton, Devon

 

Land West of Palmerston Heights, Seaton. Detailed design work on a proposal for 50 new homes at Seaton, Plymouth, overlooking the scenic Forder Valley. This contemporary scheme was designed to reflect local character and even uses locally-sourced stone which gives it a real sense of place. 
 

Working on this 1:6 gradient site was a challenge, but the use of Devon Banks instead of standard retaining walls reduced the severity of the level changes and moved the scheme towards biodiversity net gain.
