Terraced houses4.16 There are very few rows of terraces houses inWoldingham. Typically these are the older buildings in thevillage and excluding The Crescent, consist of a row ofsmall modest cottages. Terrace houses in Woldingham areatypical and should remain the exception. Should there bea strong case for terrace houses these should be restrictedto a maximum of four small terrace houses in a row (similarin proportion to the existing terraces). Further, all housesshould not have the same layout, but be handed to create avaried facade.Main house with ancillary development4.17 in some instances it might be appropriate topropose a small building that is clearly subservient to alarger house following in the tradition of gatehouses, lodgesand stable blocks. Where this design approach is adoptedthe design and architectural language should reflect themain house. The subservient building must be substantiallysmaller and located in an appropriate relationship to the mainbuilding.Smaller building at frontin gatehouse locationMain house, setback in plotFigure 4.19: Sketch illustrating a positive relationship between a mainhouse and smaller outbuilding in the form of a gatehouse building.
