A SCANDINAVIAN-style house clad in timber could be built in Otterbourne under plans submitted to Winchester City Council.

Clanfield Properties wants to build the two-bedroom, one-and-a-half storey house in 18 Coles Mede, splitting the plot into two.

The developer says it hopes to "enhance the character of the area by creating a distinctive building of architectural merit

and integrity that respects the form of development within the local context".

No objections had been received at the time of going to press.

Comments can be submitted via the council's online planning portal until January 1 with a tentative decision date of January 21.
