Little Shilling

Plan showing location of case studies within the wider development.

The modest building height is exaggerated by the number of parking bays.

Red Light! - In some variations of on-street parking, pavement space for pedestrians between homes and cars is too narrow.

Proceed With Caution! - Effective integration of landscaping in this instance, but more trees would still be desirable. Additionally, when all spaces are occupied cars may dominate the street.

Green Light! - Parking areas are properly defined, well-detailed with quality materials to the edges, and have drainage channels. The depth of hard standing on both sides of the street creates spacious defacto squares along major routes through the scheme.

Wide approaches allow for additional on street parking for residents and visitors.

Bays are unallocated, but there is little passing traffic.

Plan showing typical arrangement of on-street type parking - at right angles to the pavement - within the scheme.

Building line close to highway means garages do less to undermine enclosure.

Red Light! - Large areas of hard-standing preceding garages impinges on garden area.

Proceed with Caution! - Where ungated, garage doors opening to street is visually inconsistent with architectural language elsewhere. Also, the quality of provision varies from plot to plot, with variable access and area of hard-standing available.

Green Light! - Location at rear of plots gives option for garden storage, whilst the building line close to the highway reduces the impact of cars behind the units.

High walls and gates stress urban nature of street design.

Hardstanding in front means garage likely to become garden store.
