Role: Project Architect

Crosby Granger Architects with Dominic Roberts, led a team of consultants to carry out the Partnership Scheme objectives which where,

 

  • To repair and bring key historic buildings back into an appropriate use in order to build investment confidence and sustain the high environmental quality of the area.
  • To enhance the appearance of the public realm in the conservation area by improving the floorscape and visual character of The Square, the main public space at the heart of the designated area.
  • To increase the understanding within the community, and amongst the local building construction sector, of the benefits of building conservation and heritage craft skills, as well as an appreciation of the role that design can play in protecting and sustaining the local built environment.

Within this period of work, Crosby Granger Architects worked with Historic England to develop a national housing exemplar focused on utilising housing growth to regenerate rural villages & market towns by promoting high quality contextual housing design within and adjacent to the designated area; while tracking development impacts on the village and monitoring economic & environmental outputs that result from the housing investment alongside public perceptions.

 

The main purpose of the Public Realm Improvement Plan are to:

 

  • Clearly and simply set out the key stakeholders vision for The Square.
  • Prepare a combined scheme for The Square that responds to this vision,
  • Incorporate community/local involvement through skills and heritage training.
  • Administer the works to implement the preferred scheme.

DISCIPLINES COVERED IN COMMISSION:

 

  • Site evaluation and historic building condition survey.
  • Production and review of Design & Access Statement incorporating Heritage Impact Statement, in collaboration with SLDC Conservation Office and Historic England.
  • Coordination of professional sub-consultants.
  • Options appraisal for suitable uses of village square.
  • Preparation of Planning and LBC documentation.
  • Inspection of site works
The main square is an enclosed urban room forming the centre of connections between private courtyards and the wider landscape

Pre tender visit to Dallam Estate Three Towers 📍

We have been asked to prepare a tender for Historic England, who have been given delegated authority by Defra to support Historic & Archaeological Feature Protection Grants under Countryside Stewardship.

This is part of the Environmental Land Management scheme and provides financial incentives for farmers and land managers to protect and improve the environment, including the historic environment.

These grants are awarded via the Rural Payments Agency. The Countryside Stewardship Heritage Service has a remit to provide pre-application support, application assessment and post-award monitoring for the RPA.

A great opportunity to contribute to the preservation of our historic landscape 👏
