We are thrilled to announce that we have successfully obtained both planning and listed building consent for the proposed refurbishment and extension of a property in Robin Hood's Bay. This significant milestone marks the culmination of planning and extensive collaboration with the local authority and engineers, ensuring our design meets modern standards while respecting and preserving the historical integrity of the listed building.
Our proposal, developed through positive engagement was refined to align with local planning policies, includes a modest extension designed to enhance the existing structure while maintaining its historical character.
The approved plans involve utilising the existing footings of the conservatory to create a new kitchen diner. Historically, there was another building to the rear until it was demolished in the 1950s due to cliff collapse. However, in the 1960s, a new sea wall was installed and has recently undergone sea defence repairs. The conservatory, built in the 1960s/1970s, is overdue for renewal, and our proposal addresses this need while limiting the footprint.
The approved plans incorporate sympathetic materials and construction techniques that honour the original architecture, ensuring the longevity and preservation of the dwelling for future generations.
