4.7 The typical plot/footprint ratio in WoldinghamVillage is 17/1 with some character areas being morespacious than others. Proposed development should beof similar ratio to its character area unless there are strongreasons otherwise.4.8 Typically in Woldingham houses are placed in largeplots that provide for a substantial amount of garden areaaround the house. This loose and spacious character mustbe retained and buildings must not be crowded or hemmedin by boundaries.4.9 The adjacent plot / footprint ratio serves asguidance and is not a definitive standard. any developmentdisregarding of the plot/footprint ratio must be in keepingwith the character generally and comply with the otherdesign principles. Footprints are calculated includinggarages and any permanent outbuildings.average plot/footprintratioa High Drive 18 / 1B long Hill 13 / 1C Western Hillside 17 / 1D Woldingham Centre n/aE Park View / Northdown Road 12 / 1CloseF Historic Core 5 / 1G Southern approachNorthdown RoadUpper Court road34 / 119 / 1H Core Fringe 5 / 1i Southfields Road 18 / 1J Eastern Hillside 15 / 1Design Principle L 4: Buildings must provide highlevels of visual privacy in relation to the character ofWoldingham and not unduly impact on the amenity andviews of neighbouring properties.4.10 Distance is one means of avoiding overlooking.However, the dwelling may also be designed to achieveprivacy through other means, for instance by the location,type and orientation of windows and the overall orientation ofbuildings.4.11 it is important to consider landform and topographyin relation to privacy and the resulting impact newdevelopment has on to the existing resident’s amenity. Forexample, a one storey building set above a resident’s gardenmay be more imposing than a two storey building at thesame level.Table 4.1: Table setting out average plot/footprint ratios per characterarea.Plot boundaryPlot aPlot BFootprint includinggarages and otherancillary buildingsWoldingham Design Guidance ©TiBBalDS MaRCH 201112
Design Principle L 5: Forms of development mustbe appropriate to their location, the size of thedevelopment site and the character of the area.4.12 The majority of buildings within Woldingham aredetached houses that are individually designed. Many areVictorian and Edwardian, although there are more recent infilland replacement buildings. The exception to this is the CoreFringe character area, where the predominant building typeis semi detached houses.Detached houses4.13 Detached houses should be individually designedand varied in their architectural language and form. Wherea number of detached houses are proposed together, theyshould be clearly distinctive from one another. a repetitionof the same house type or form will not be acceptable. Eachproposal should demonstrate care and attention in thedesign.4.14 any proposal for detached houses should belocated on appropriately sized plots. Detached house thatare perceived as terraced buildings, because they do nothave appropriate gaps between them will not be acceptable.The appropriate width of the gap between buildingsdepends on the character of the area and size of housesproposed.Semi-Detached houses4.15 There are few examples of semi-detached housesin Woldingham Village. The majority of those that exist have atypical inter and post war character. Semi-detached housesshould be designed as one symmetrical building or group.They should also follow and relate to the rhythm of otherbuildings in the road.XFigure 4.12: Semi-detached houses.Figure 4.10: inappropriate detached development, there is insufficientspace for meaningful gaps and no room for planting.√X√Figure 4.13: Semi-detachedhouses designed as asymmetrical building.Figure 4.14: Semi-detachedhouses designed as a ‘terraceof two’.Figure 4.9: Detached houses.Figure 4.11: Detached housing can sit comfortably in its site with spacefor planting and sufficient gaps between buildings.©TiBBalDS MaRCH 2011Woldingham Design Guidance13
