Description:
Brief
The current use is an office building. The proposal was to change the use from Offices to Residential flats under Permitted Development and then maximise the residential development potential.
Challenges
A big challenge was the Planning Constraint of being in a Conservation Area and adjoining a Listed Building. On top of that were the objections from the neighbours and a committee refusal for political advantage at upcoming local elections.
Being a mews, there are numerous site constraints.
Goals
Maximise the development potential of the site. Sustainability was a core requirement of the brief from the beginning.
Unique Solution
Phased approach: 1. Change of Use via Permitted Development, 2. Approval for the first floor as flats and 3. Approval for the second floor mansard for houses.
Sustainability
Reuse of the historical existing coach house and end block. Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery system (MVHR). Photovoltaic solar panels (PV) and solar thermal panels.
