Parking courtyard at Purley Road, Lower Cambourne
Planning policies these days encourage designers to hide car parking to the rear of houses to avoid cars and built-in garages dominating the street scene. These are parking facilities for the houses adjacent to the left. Unfortunately it has turned out to be a rather bleak 'sea' of tarmac and would have benefited from some soft landscaping.

Housing at Merle Way, Lower Cambourne
Constructed by Bovis Homes as part of phase LC12.
The houses were just completed when the photo was taken, hence the road in the foreground is still waiting for its top surface to be laid.

House at Purley Road, Lower Cambourne
Cambourne designers had to become increasingly inventive to ensure each area of the development has its own distinctive character, and this area, on the edge of the new village, was planned as a low density 'country lane', with large detached houses which have barn style annex buildings. These are a development of the 'flat over garage' style building first seen in phases LC01 and LC07

'Village square' at Merle Way, Lower Cambourne
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.
