Stoates Mill
Working alongside Savills, hmad|architects Exeter provided architectural support for a planning application on a challenging brownfield site; Stoates Mill, Somerset. The site is within a Conservation Area with previous consent for a large care home.
​
The Client wanted a scheme for high quality market sale housing. There were various technical considerations to address including; drainage, flood risk, highways and setting of a listed asset. Each of these imposed constraints on the designs.
​
Savills managed the complex planning negotiations and the resulting scheme was a 'courtyard' style development. The design approach was contextual to the adjacent converted mill buildings and encompassed the character of the local setting and its architecture.
​
hmad|architects produced a 'flythrough' of the scheme to assist the Design Review Panel and Planners in their interpretation of the scheme which has been approved for planning with unanimous support from the Planning Committee.
