New buildings or extensions should follow these examples. Their scale should be domestic - with small upright windows, in proportion to larger wall
areas with a maximum of two storeys. Where double-glazing is used it should have external glazing bars and sight lines, and should match existing windows.
 
House roofs should be steep-pitched (47-50 degrees) and tiled with one-third/one-quarter hips at the ridge and tile-hung upper walls. Dormers should be kept small, and where renovation or extension are being carried out, brick chimneys should be retained.
 
Boundaries should ideally be of local stone or indigenous hedges (not woven timber panels), while gardens should aim to retain and enhance the features of the countryside - with use of mixed hedges, indigenous trees, ponds and local stone.
 
Crockham Hill is well served with open spaces - indeed it could be described as an open space itself, lying high on its south-facing slope and protected by the Ridge from the chill northerlies.
 
There are three principal open spaces within the area - Crockham Hill Common, the War Memorial Playing Field and the Village Garden. ......>
