About this property

The plot extends to c. 2.05 acres and is set back and secluded from the main road. There is a private driveway to access the property from the B935 Forgandenny Road. The site is a former quarry, and the topography of the site was carefully considered in the development of the plans. The driveway goes up to a middle plateau, and then continues to rise to the area proposed for the house. The north and east of the site is bound by woodland, creating a natural boundary, the south and east of the site are bounded by agricultural land.

CONTEXT & SITE EVOLUTION

Significant investment has already been made in preparing
and engineering the site for development. Major quarry stabilisation and re-contouring works were completed in 2023, transforming the former quarry into a stable and practical development platform suitable for the approved dwelling.

Completed works include:

Quarry stabilisation and re-contouring
Controlled engineering fill operations
Formation of development platform
Private access installation
Landscape integration works
Planning and technical approvals

The site has undergone a sequence of planning consents
and re-contouring of quarry faces to stabilise and restore the
landscape. This process has progressively transformed the site
into a suitable, safe, and functional development platform.

ACCESS AND PERMEABILITY

The works have also established a practical and
safe vehicular access arrangement to serve the
proposed single dwelling.

DESIGN QUALITY & OUTCOMES

The consolidated engineering solution, together with the approved planning consents, demonstrates that the site is now fit-for-purpose for a single housing plot. Through disciplined re-contouring, controlled filling to create a stable platform, and an
accessible layout for a single plot, the site achieves its development potential while delivering an exemplar, award-winning architectural response.

ENGINEERING & GROUND WORKS

Controlled fill operations have been implemented to infill the quarry and create a stable design platform insuring long-term site stability in line with current best practice.
