Parkland Road Redbridge IG8 9AP

The proposed design introduces a rear patio that serves as the primary access from the kitchen to the garden. From the kitchen, five steps lead down to the first-level patio, providing a raised platform. Continuing the transition, an additional four steps descend to a paved area that aligns with the garden level, facilitating easy access to the garden. An ACO linear drainage channel is installed to direct surface water towards the designated vegetated areas and a soakaway system at ground level. The drainage channel at patio level is fitted with a water tap to irrigate the planter beds below. The soakaway system is introduced to manage surface water runoff from the patio and surrounding hardscaping, ensuring proper water dispersal. The planter beds, which serve as the vegetated areas at the patio, are planted with riparian and/or bioswale vegetation to aid in rainwater absorption and manage surface water runoff and also near the rear hedges of the property. The deep-rooted plants help anchor the soil, and together with the overall landscaping approach, they offer a sustainable and natural solution that not only preserves the area's appearance but also reduces the impact of leveling the garden adjacent to the rear public park. A flowerbed is proposed along the left side of the boundary wall, serving both as a rainwater management measure and to provide additional soft screening for the neighboring property, while the existing hedges along the right and rear boundaries will remain unchanged. There are no additional changes to the main dwelling.
