My previous architectural practice was based in Ascot and we had several developments there.

Ascot Design?

To be fair, that drone camera angle is not very flattering.
 

I’d give it the chance to be completed with landscaping first and a real world viewing angle.

I quite like the Neoclassical / Palladian type architecture but I can can never quite work out what makes some designs that work and some that fall short.  One of the many reasons I could not be an architect!

I obviously watched too much Trumpton...

We talked to them about our house design in mid- 2014 but they seemed a bit stuck in their "Surrey/Berkshire Georgian" style  and we weren't convinced they could do anything different.  My friends have used them  to get PP in Ascot and currently working with them to revise that PP - "Berkshire Georgian" but that it was they wanted!

Architectural practices can tend to be one trick ponies.

Sarah Beeny is stuck in row with neighbours over landscaping project at her £3million Somerset home | Daily Mail Online

 

Although........

1) Its in the Daily Mail.

2) "Beeny, understandably conserving her energy, declines to comment."

3) the retrospective Planning Permission went in Fri 18 Feb 2022.

So an article about a landscaping earth bank, without so much as a single picture of the offending earth bank?  Qwality journalism.

 

Sorry to hear of Sarah's Cancer.  Hope the treatment works.
