Great Britain: Village residents protest against futuristic house on stilts.

According to The Sun: Local residents have reacted with concern to the idea of building a modern house on social supports, claiming that it will look somewhat unsightly on the flat terrain.

The project, created by Hawkes Architecture, received the green light from the local council at a planning meeting on Tuesday. Residents argued that the house would disrupt the harmony of the landscape and is unnatural for the area.

The house is designed to be five meters above the ground to avoid flooding the residential area

One of the residents protesting against the plan believed that it does not fit into the landscape

The house itself will feature large glass windows using sustainable materials and modern energy-saving technologies. It will also be raised to protect the premises from potential floods and will have an underground parking garage with the option to store bicycles.

Controversies and Approvals

Under strict council rules, new housing construction projects in open natural areas are usually rejected, but national policy allows exceptions for 'exceptional or innovative' designs that raise architectural standards and aim for sustainable development.

Planners acknowledged that this proposal for Wengham Road represented an exception in this area.
