Recent Projects
Some of the projects I've helped with recently
Former Stalybridge Police Station, Tameside
Negative Building in Conservation Area
I produced a Heritage Statement for Watson Construction Ltd for the demolition of the 1960s concrete former police station and the construction of residential accommodation for vulnerable adults. The new building is of the same height and massing but uses a sympathetic palette of materials to the nearby listed market building in a simple and contemporary style, in line with best practice for work in historic areas.
1 Market Place, Stockport
Heritage Statement for unlisted building in Conservation and affecting setting of GVI church
I provided heritage advice and produced a heritage statement for the owner of this building who wanted to carry out important repair and restoration works which could affect the significance of the Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade I listed Church of St Mary opposite. I also attended a meeting with Council staff to discuss the proposals.
The Wharf, Marple - Update
Grade II-listed wharf and canal warehouse
I updated a Conservation Management Plan for the Community Interest Company (CIC), after the completion of Phase 1 and 2 conservation and repair works. This will support an application for Lottery funding to complete the conversion of the building for a Heritage and Visitor Centre and café with a community fitness and well-being centre on the first floor
