The scheme is designed in the local vernacular to create a place with identity. The scheme minimises the amount of hard surfaces in parking courts, and asfar as possiblestone walls are used in place of fences. This helps to create a development in keeping with the local character of Coldstream and the Hirsel Designed Landscape within which the site lies, and also aims to make best use of the extensive stone material available. The proposal is to use over 2 miles of stone walling supplied by the Hirsel Estate in the development with the labour costs as the only expense to the developer. The labour costs are to be reduced by making use of a local apprenticeship scheme.
