ultramods Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Stumbled across the plans for this development today (I have no association with the owners). A new little village inside the grounds of a traditional estate. I have never seen this quality of architecture for a large-ish development. I have attached the design statement for anyone that is interested.

Ferdinand Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) All interesting. The style of presentation - and extended Design & Access - is not dissimilar to that now being used by boutique developers such as Kevin McCloud's HAB. An interesting comparison might also be with Poundbury, which had some genuinely interesting things going on, and also with larger scale long term projects.

newhome Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 That looks idyllic! I’d probably never be able to afford one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Given Aberdeen now, perhaps they will check affordability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Hucknall near here there is a mixed development happening on the old Rolls Royce Hucknall Aerodrome site where (I think) the Flying Bedstead was created. There they are leaving a space on the estate patterned on the old runway. I am not sure on the quality of the detailed design, but it is 150 acres and 900 homes over perhaps 12-15 years.

Onoff Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 1st pic doesn't do it for me. Like the 3rd pic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love pic 1 although I don’t want a horse in my back yard and I would want smart glass with all that glass and people walking by. In fact I’m not sure how living in a sort of fishbowl would work in a large-ish development sense ? There are endless steading developments a bit like pic 3 up here so that looks pretty run of the mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those particular plots are 2 - 3 acres, so shouldn't have people passing too close by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much out of interest or are they only at the concept stage just now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultramods Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 @newhome I don't think they are for sale yet, only recently been approved. I think the developer that bought the estate in 2009-2010 paid £1,000,000 and has since then converted the main house/castle into a wedding/corporate venue. http://fasquecastle.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
