Notes
Dance has blocked in three areas for infill on the south, north and east sides. He pencilled in Flower Garden on the southwest side, and re-aligned the driveway so that it passes nearer the house and through the proposed porte-cochere on the new north front. The compass points are correctly given here and in [SM D2/11/4], [SM D2/11/3] and [SM D2/11/2].
