Most unusually, this housing courtyard overlaps two build phases, which caused added complications with the construction - the details needed to match. The housing shown in the photograph is all part of Bovis Homes phase LC12, but the same paving and tree layout continues behind the photographer into Bryant Homes phase LC13. The central feature chimney of the houses in the background was a specially designed detail. It will be interesting to see how the trees mature in a few years time.
