Residential Developments
Our large scale residential developments have ranged from feasibility studies re-use previously developed sites
to conversions of old buildings into apartments,
the restoration of historic structures with new residential use,
the redevelopment of historic garden sites,
to new-build mixed-use shops and apartment projects
West Mills Sowerby Bridge
West Mills are a complex of 19c and 20c mills and warehouses built over earlier buildings and located on river boulder strata. Parts were structurally sound, others were unstable either because of intensive dry- and wet-rot attack or be collapse of foundation. One building had earlier lost its upper 2 storeys but continued to sink into the ground.
We restored the 5-storey building and converted it into apartments and rebuilt the 4-storey block as a steel framed building on piled foundations. All of the conversion apartments sold quickly, the new-build is currently under construction.
St Thomas’s Hebden Bridge
St Thomas’s was an abandoned church and the site of the former Sunday school and the property had been sold to a private developer. We assessed the state of the building and were able to convert it into 9 apartments, the former presbytery into a separate house, and built 6 new dwellings on the former Sunday school site.
A building left empty for 11 years has found a new life and its street presence guaranteed for the future.
Salendine Nook Housing
The remnants of the Huguenot pottery works formed the basis of a development converting the stock of historic buildings into dwellings, restoring and preserving artifacts and constructing new dwellings on an otherwise derelict site.
