A pair of two-bed homes, designed to match the street, on a grassed plot between two houses in Whitnash with neighbours' parking behind. Permission was granted in November 2025.

The same view of Montgomery Road, twice: the grassed gap between No. 73 and No. 79 as it was, and the approved pair of homes drawn into it.
A leftover plot in a finished street is easy to get wrong: too big and it crowds the neighbours, too different and it sticks out. This pair was drawn from the street itself, and the council's officer found it reads as part of the surrounding development.
Warwick District Council decision W/25/1114, 24 November 2025: two semi-detached dwellings with access, landscape and parking. Non-material amendment approved 8 April 2026. 74.7 sqm (804 sq ft) each, from the approved site plan.
Two family homes for a grassed plot between two houses, on a street where every house shares the same brick, roof and details.
The plot's frontage is also the way in to four neighbours' parking bays, so the homes had to fit without making those bays harder to use.
From the officer's report and our survey.
Dates from the council's notices and our issue record.
The officer found the pair in keeping with the houses along Montgomery Road in scale, pitch, roof detailing and facing materials. The details are the street's own: soldier courses above and below the windows, small gables in the front roof, gabled canopies over the doors.
The pair lines up with No. 79. Each home has two spaces off Montgomery Road, with planting between the two pairs of spaces, and the way in to the neighbours' parking court stays open, a planted build-out guarding its first bay.

One roof over the pair, a small gable over each first-floor window, a gabled timber canopy over each front door, and brick soldier courses above and below the windows. The windows follow the amendment approved in April 2026.
Approved front elevation, amended April 2026. Not to scale.
A living room at the front, a WC and utility in the middle, and a kitchen and dining room across the back, opening to the garden, with the heat pump outside. Upstairs, two double bedrooms and a bathroom.

The highway authority raised no objection once swept path drawings showed every new space could be used. An energy statement showed the homes' own measures met the council's net zero carbon policy, with a modest carbon offset secured by condition.
The plot was a strip of grass between No. 73 and No. 79 Montgomery Road, on an estate where every house shares the same character and palette of materials. Its frontage also carries the entrance to a parking court of four bays used by neighbours, and the two bays furthest in were already tight to get into.
The houses were drawn from the street: one roof over the pair, small gables in the front roof, brick soldier courses above and below the windows, gabled timber canopies over the doors. The harder part was the entrance. After highway advice in July 2025 we redrew it so the neighbours' bays worked as they had before, with a planted build-out protecting the first one.
We submitted the application in August 2025 with swept path drawings for the new spaces and an energy statement, which showed the homes' own measures met the council's net zero carbon policy with a modest offset. Permission was granted on 24 November 2025: the officer found the pair in keeping with the houses along Montgomery Road in scale, pitch, roof detailing and facing materials.
After consent, the Building Regulations plans were passed in February 2026. In April 2026 the council approved the facing materials (a multi brick chosen against No. 73's, and a Double Roman tile because the street's own was discontinued) and a non-material amendment to the windows that added a sun tunnel at the back. For biodiversity net gain, units were bought from a habitat bank in April 2026 and the gain plan was submitted in May 2026. Building had not started by October 2026.
We surveyed the plot, designed the pair to the street's pattern, worked the layout out around the neighbours' parking, made the application, and took the scheme through the amendment, the Building Regulations and the conditions.
74.7 sqm each, two double bedrooms.
No objection from highways.
