Plot 1 with full planning consent in perpetuity (19/01813/PP) to construct a single storey dwelling
with connections to mains electricity, a borehole water supply (already installed) and provided with a ground source heat pump ready borehole. The building site has been levelled.
The owners engaged Ewan Cameron Architects, an award winning practice that specialises in the design of low energy, bespoke residential properties ( to design a self-build house for the site (Plot 1). The house can be erected immediately as a full building warrant for the design has been obtained. Building materials including highest quality triple glazed bespoke Austrian Internorm windows and SIPS Eco panels were purchased to secure pricing at historical levels. This would allow the
purchaser to benefit from a significant discount on both windows and SIPS panels compared to current price levels as well as to very quickly erect a weathertight envelope.

Planning permission in principle for a one and a half storey dwelling. Whilst not an obligation, the owners' preference is to sell the plots with the aforementioned building materials.
