Full Description: The Approved Scheme:Planning permission has been granted for the construction of a two-bedroom, single-storey eco-dwelling on surplus back land. The property will be partially subterranean, highly insulated, and will incorporate renewable technologies such as an air source heat pump.Access to the plot is via a 5m-wide private driveway, owned by the existing property, leading from the residential cul-de-sac.The new home has been designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing railway embankment. Excavated material from the foundations will be reused to create additional fill, allowing the embankment to slope over the partially retaining rear of the dwelling. A green living roof will further support the visual and ecological integration of the structure into the landscape.The disused railway line at the western end of the site will be retained as the garden for the new property. This embankment area, which has already been incorporated into surrounding gardens, has been generally maintained or surfaced.The Existing Site:The site currently contains several outbuildings and workshops. It is set within a well-maintained garden consisting mainly of lawn, with introduced shrubs, small trees, hardstanding, wooden sheds, and a greenhouse.Site Area: Approximately 1174SQMLocation:Evercreech is a quiet, well-established village in Somerset, about 3 miles southeast of Shepton Mallet and 5 miles from Castle Cary.Castle Cary Station – approx. 6 km.
