EH-H7 (a) East Horsley Design Code: Houses & Bungalows
Developments of houses or bungalows will be supported where:
- Designs are in keeping with the established character of East Horsley and with the style of properties surrounding the development;
- Landscaping is consistent with the surroundings and context, whilst generally enhancing the ‘leafy’ character of East Horsley;
- Residential development should be no more than two storeys high, other than in exceptional circumstances;
- Adequate refuse & recycling storage is provided with minimum visual impact; bins should be stored out of sight from the street;
- Boundary clearances on the side of detached or semi-detached dwellings should be sufficient to allow access for wheelchairs if access to the dwelling and curtilage is not available for wheelchairs from the house;
- Sufficient off-street parking shall be provided for all dwellings, dependent upon the size and type of housing, in order to ensure there is no on-street parking at the development other than in exceptional circumstances;
- Garages are normally positioned to the sides of dwellings, not in the front, in order not to clutter frontages.
