Gate work in Farnham: what the local housing asks for
Farnham's Georgian core is one of the best-preserved in the south, and its conservation area is policed accordingly — gates visible from Castle Street or the historic approaches want traditional estate-bar or scroll ironwork drawn properly for consent. Out along Tilford Road, Lower Bourne and toward Frensham, plots widen and briefs shift toward full estate entrances.
Greensand ridges south of town produce sharply rising drives off sunken lanes — restricted visibility onto lanes like Old Frensham Road makes set-back gate lines with courier pull-ins both a safety and a planning win.
Local note: We keep a portfolio of consented Farnham conservation-area designs, which shortens the planning conversation considerably.
