Brief
Newton Architects were successful in a nationally invited competition to produce designs for a large new private house in the countryside. It is rare for planning permission to be given to new houses in the open countryside. The house was submitted for planning under Clause 11 of Planning Policy Statement 7 (PPS7) (now NPPF paragraph 55) which provides exception to the rule preventing development in rural areas and gained planning permission in January 2011. After a long and intensive two years of work the planning authority was persuaded of its ground breaking credentials and granted planning permission .
