We are thrilled to announce that we have officially secured planning approval for our project at Cox's Quarry, Bath. This milestone marks a significant step forward in our journey to sustainably develop this beautiful site, and means six, net zero, Custom Build, Passivhaus homes will be coming to Bath soon!

We first met the landowner and became inspired by their vision to create a small deep green, eco-development in 2019. When we visited we were blown away by the beautiful green oasis tucked away in the centre of Combe Down and the challenge of developing it sensitively.

Planning has not been easy, particularly because much of what makes the site so special is that it is part SSSI / Site of Special Scientific Interest, and SAC / Special Area of Conservation.

Not forgetting the fact that it's in a conservation area in a World Heritage site!

We are believed to have achieved a first for a Custom Build scheme by having had all of our customer customisation options approved at planning. Usually there is a requirement for customers to have to spend additional time and money returning to planning to have the specifics of their design approved. We wanted to achieve an architecturally cohesive development and to save customers time and money, so we pre-designed a variety of customisation options for customers within a Plot Passport and have successfully had them all approved.
