Wooden Driveway Gates
in Dunsfold.

Dunsfold is a rural Waverley village with one of Surrey's classic traditional village greens, anchored by the Grade I thirteenth-century Church of St Mary and All Saints. Parts of the parish lie within the Surrey Hills AONB; the village itself is a designated conservation area with a cluster of listed cottages around the green. Dunsfold Aerodrome, better known as the former Top Gear test track, lies immediately adjacent and shapes part of the village's modern character. The residential stock is predominantly period: farmhouses, timber-framed cottages, and later detached houses on the lanes running out towards Hascombe and Loxhill.

Oak is the dominant timber on wooden gates in Dunsfold, matching the reference of the timber-framed cottages around the green. The Low Weald clay geology means post foundations need to be deeper than the standard to reach a stable bearing layer; every installer we refer in Dunsfold specifies 900mm minimum foundations on replacement gate work in the village core. Accoya is specified where the homeowner wants oak-like aesthetics on an exposed approach without the maintenance schedule. Conservation-area proposals follow the Waverley design process with the installer handling the conservation officer conversation.
