An outline planning scheme for a thoughtfully designed development of eight custom build homes on a greenfield site in Leicestershire. This proposal offers a unique opportunity for self-build homeowners to create high-quality, bespoke residences in a beautiful rural setting. 

Inspired by the local rural vernacular, the architectural design draws on the character of traditional Leicestershire manor houses, featuring simple, elegant forms, ordered window openings, and varied ridge heights that bring visual interest and individuality to each plot.

Each homeowner will be able to choose from a curated façade palette, guided by a comprehensive design code, ensuring that all homes complement both the surrounding countryside and the adjacent village character. The result is a development of characterful, custom build homes that balance modern rural living with a deep respect for local architectural identity and context.
