| setting |
A pretty Wealden oast house sitting in a country lane. |
| requirement |
To replace heavy cypress trees shading and hiding the house from
the lane. |
| considerations |
Negotiation required with planning and highways departments. |
| solution |
The cypress trees were replaced with a formal line of pleached
lime trees to create some visual privacy from the lane while allowing
light into the house. Negotiations were held with planning and highways
departments to change the vehicular access into the property which
allowed the creation of a courtyard entrance space into the house. |
