Foxfield Grove was designed around an originally outlined 100 unit scheme, which through the design process was reduced to then enhance the layout of the houses in relation to the roads and expanded open space. By reducing the scheme we were able to include quintessential Petersfield features and space to ensure it was a development where people would aspire to live. Included are links through the development for pedestrians which will encourage people to use local facilities and public transport ensuring there is ease of access across the development. As per South Downs National Park policy we have also included 41% Affordable housing to aid the local area and ensure that the dwellings are integrated into the design, the local housing needs were researched at an early stage to ensure the development accommodated to the local vicinity and ensure that the local needs are met.

As the site is quite small it doesnt give much scope to be able to offer routes to aid the residents on the development and surrounding. Although when designing the scheme we ensured that there is a straight forward route out of the scheme by introducing pathways and walk throughs to ensure that the local amenities are as accessible as possible for the residents. Also introduced was a walk way onto the development in the bottom corner this will enable the existing residents behind our development can use the pathways and walk throughs on our site as a safer and quicker route on their journeys.

When designing the scheme we produced a pattern book (available on request) this ensured that we used the different characters and styles of housing in Petersfield within our development and by using the quintessential locations within the Petersfield area to enhance our designs and ensure it was inkeeping with the Petersfield Characteristics, this included the styles of the roads and properties elevations.

Within the site boundary there is a gradual sloap as seen on the constraints plan, through the design process we have exploited this constraint and used it to enhance the layout and the design of the street scenes to give each house as much of a view across the South Downs National Park, this is done by careful thought into the location and roof pitches across the site.
