Westmoreland House and Carriageworks

Description

Two resident gardens are enclosed between the perimeter block and the mews. These courtyard gardens are designed to be a communal experience, shared between all the surrounding dwellings. Defensible soft landscape buffers separate the private amenities of mews houses and ground floor apartments from these shared gardens and provide privacy for the dwellings. Shared rooftop gardens are also provided along with private inset balconies to each apartment, proportioned and arranged to have the qualities of an external room.

Planning History

The scheme received unanimous approval in less than 15 minutes from the LLDC planning committee on 24th November 2015. We undertook several pre-application meetings with the LLDC in the period running up to the planning application submission. The outcome of these, including comments received and actions undertaken, contributed to the successful planning result.
