Origin3 is delighted to be part of the team that has successfully secured Full Planning consent for a low-carbon housing scheme at Knowle Hill, Puriton on behalf of This is Gravity Ltd.   Working closely with the client team led by Claire Pearce, the vision was to transform Knowle Hill, a redundant Royal Ordnance Facility water treatment works site near Junction 23 in Somerset, into a 6 dwelling housing scheme designed to reflect high standards in environmentally led architecture. This will ensure the site is an asset to the locality, support the wider Gravity - Smart Campus transformation ambitions, and help to raise standards of design as an exemplar for the South West region.   The proposals showcased a scheme designed to fit comfortably into the wider landscape, configured into 2 clusters or “farm steads” of 3 dwellings. With their pitched roofs and courtyards, they form groups of buildings not dissimilar to existing farms and remote estates found in the locality. However, the designs are contemporary with energy efficiency as a core principle applying methods for reducing the need for energy, utilising a range of renewable energy methods that are specific to the site and providing climatic responsive building envelopes through passive design principles.   We will be excited to see the vision come to life when the scheme is built out. #lowcarbon #enviromentallyled #planning #planningpermission #urbandesign
