Since our meeting with the Council we've been working through the implications for the two-house option. The overlooking issue seems to have receded in our minds as windows can be positioned accordingly (good lady wife pointed out that our current house has virtually no windows in the south face; I didn't want to point out that this was one of its issues...).
Instead the killer blows are parking and turning areas. Two spaces for a three-bed and turning area for an ambulance are feasible, but the profit margin is squeezed. To shift up to a four-bed we have to provide another space, eating into the garden of the house in front. And, of course, any profit is contingent on selling them, and will people buy a large patch of gravel with a house attached?
Email off to Knott this morning asking for an estimate of fees to draw us up something palatial.
We still hope its a two horse race between Knott and Potton, although we would dearly like Potton to change their jockey...
