GARDEN DESIGN
Planning Requirements
As a listed historic house and garden , the swimming pool project required Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent . Therefore , a planning consultant was appointed by the client to secure permission from the local planning authority ; with the help of our landscape design team plans and sections , and the specialist swimming pool company proposals .
Other supporting documents , as required by the planning permission conditions , also include :
• The implementation of a programme of archaeological work in accordance with a written scheme of investigation , produced by a suitably qualified archaeologist . To ensure that features of archaeological or architectural importance are recorded before their destruction or concealment and to ensure that an appropriate record is made of archaeological evidence that may be affected by the development .
• A detailed Arboricultural Method Statement , by a suitably qualified and experienced arboriculturist , to include the Implementation , supervision and monitoring of an approved Tree Protection Scheme and planting proposals to screen the pool area from the house driveway to the west of the pool ; Tree Work Specification ; Construction Works within any area protected in the approved Tree Protection Scheme ; and the Timing and phasing of
Arboricultural works in relation to the approved development . A pre-commencement condition is required to ensure retention and protection of trees on the site during and after construction .
The Urban Earth Design and Construction team were delighted to be asked to design , carry out the pool excavations , and construct the swimming pool landscape works for this local , and historically important , property ; based on our previously completed high-quality landscape work and our design team experience , including historic homes and gardens and swimming pool projects .
