Contemporary new-build homes on steep plot

The builder-developer client purchased a steeply sloping greenfield site in Exeter with outline planning consent for two modest houses but wanted to maximise their return on investment and simplify construction. Burley Partnership initially sought planning approval for three stepped dwellings, but access agreements blocked the proposal. After a clever redesign, the team secured approval for two generously sized, split-level contemporary houses, avoiding in-built retaining walls and structural waterproofing.
