Turning a refused scheme, which aimed to improve a 17th century pub, into a supported proposal.
Our client, the Stonegate Group, wished to undertake opening up works between the front and rear spaces of a Grade II Listed public house. The plans had previously been refused by the council and we were instructed to review the unsuccessful scheme and suggest amendments.
Once the client had considered our assessment and taken the suggested changes on board, we produced a Heritage Statement and presented the revised scheme to the council’s conservation officer.
By establishing a positive working relationship with the officer, we were able to secure listed building consent so that our client could create a more open public house.
