Project application
A landscape shaped by its purpose.
The Sunray combines a restored village pub with 14 holiday cottages and landscaped grounds near Dorset’s Jurassic Coast. Longshore Developments and the Hunt family brought the destination back into use.
The brief
What the project had to achieve.
Create practical gravel parking for pub visitors and cottage guests, with a natural appearance that sits comfortably beside the buildings and landscaped grounds.
- 01
Visitor parking
Provide practical parking for pub visitors and overnight guests.
- 02
Surface stability
Contain the stone under everyday vehicle and pedestrian use.
- 03
Natural finish
Complement the restored buildings, cottages and landscaped grounds.
The CORE solution
Selected around the site—not just the surface.
CORE COMMERCIAL grids contain the gravel to help reduce movement under vehicles and foot traffic.
CORE supplied 1,360m² of CORE COMMERCIAL through Jewson and Gibbs & Dandy for the gravel areas. The grid contains the stone, helping reduce movement and rutting under vehicles and foot traffic.
The natural gravel finish suits the cottages and planting while providing practical parking for pub visitors and overnight guests.
The result
A natural gravel finish for pub visitors and holiday-cottage guests.
