Has the owner consulted an engineer on the designs because looking at the gradiant of manor mount and the proposed site the foundations will need to be under-pined and bonded which will add to their budget considerably. And if they choose a re-inforced concrete slab, which is better than trench foundations because they last longer the setting of said concrete and final pressure on the ground which is on a gradient of about 35-40 degree's will cause 'up-slip' shifting the earth in the direction of your foundations, and destroying them over time not to mention the ancient utilities. Also the delivery of materials to the site will be a logistical nightmare on a one way road and a busy road such as honor oak rd. Something the council may want to consider before giving the go ahead.
