Homes, ground and conservation in Edith Weston
Edith Weston sits on the south shore of Rutland Water, a stone village with a green and a number of substantial houses, next to St George's Barracks. Terraces, outdoor rooms and lighting designed around the views are the typical projects here.
Edith Weston is on the limestone plateau above the reservoir, and most plots drain reasonably well, though clay pockets turn up. We test the ground before designing the base.
Edith Weston has a conservation area and no Article 4 direction, so normal permitted development rules apply outside listed buildings, with natural materials the right choice in the conservation area.
Rutland Water itself carries negligible flood risk according to Rutland's flood strategy, and Edith Weston is not one of the places it names for river flooding. Check any address on the Environment Agency flood map.
