About this home:

A new rural community of 29 homes has been approved following a planning appeal at a Green Belt and Conservation Area site in Oxted, Surrey. The site has redundant agricultural sheds on the edge of a village overlooking open fields. The Appeal Inspector decided that the outstanding design should be given significant weight in favour of approval. ‘The scheme should be considered an outstanding design that fits within the overall form and layout of its surroundings, and would raise the standard of design more generally in the area, [and] I therefore attach the architectural quality of the scheme significant weight in favour of approval.'
