T.H. White, who supply agricultural equipment, are vacating their premises within the Cotswold village of Andoversford. The site, of almost one hectare fronts onto the village street and is enclosed by a steep wooded former railway embankment which screens the bypass beyond. The site is bisected by a stream which is culverted for most of its length. The Environment Agency have agreed to open up the stream and to divert it to run along the front of the site, and to widen it out as a new pond. This immediately gives character both to the development and to the village as a whole. The new layout is a simple arrangement of one main street which widens into a Square at the 90° bend and again at the northern end, where it terminates at a group of mature Scots pine trees. A lane provides rear parking access and serves the houses which front onto the stream. The existing public footpath across the site passes over the new footbridge, along the rear lane, through the Square and on to the bypass behind. This scheme enhances the village by adding to the street scene with a picturesque arrangement of typical Cotswold houses carefully group around the pond.
