The proposed development in Rutland is a single dwelling with a harmonious architectural style, incorporating contemporary design elements and an annex for additional living space. The site, located on an eastern paddock near Hawkswell House, is surrounded by a retained garden area and dense woodland, and is situated within National Character Area 61 Shropshire, Cheshire and Staffordshire Plain. The development is designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating energy-efficient building materials, water conservation methods, and renewable energy sources. The site is currently mainly amenity grassland, bounded by post and rail fence and low native hedgerows, with a portion of woodland to the east. The topography slopes from south to north, towards the road, and there is a sense of openness particularly to the west and north-west. The development is designed by Jonathan Hendry Architects, an award-winning practice known for making architecture that is well-crafted, with simple forms that have a strong sense of materiality.
