Site of a contaminated derelict chicken farm the development was commissioned by McLean Homes South Midlands for 50 domestic dwellings.
The scheme is made up of houses of various sizes and includes 15 affordable houses together with a mix of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 bedroom homes.
The site is extremely rural and its size and scale were problematic to the village and the local authority. The scheme had been taken to appeal and lost, NC Architects brief was to obtain approval.  
We commenced by having a meeting with the parish council and following this looked at the existing village with the aim of reflecting the features and fabric found among the houses. The new scheme sought to pick up on the cranked houses, grass verges, twisty lanes and open spaces along sides the roads, approval was granted within six months.
