p84 House - Lancashire

Site Sensitivities: Countryside / Green Belt / Conservation Area

The site lies within the grounds of a former historic hall in the Green Belt and a conservation area. A former hall was demolished in the 1960s although the stable courtyard, kennels, church and lodge remained. The site was purchased in 2014 by a local family to restore the estate to its former glory.

Proposals were developed for a large new Arts & Crafts country house sited within the walled garden and linked to a new leisure complex housed in the existing stable yard. The scheme was subject to extensive pre-application discussion with the local authority and was taken to the independent regional design review panel for ratification before being presented to the local community. The application was granted planning permission by a unanimous decision at a planning committee in October 2015.

Proposed works included the construction of the new house along with an extensive landscape design, refurbishment of the church, lodge and kennels. Shaw & Jagger fully designed every detail of the design; from the interiors and furniture, stonework and plasterwork, finishes and landscape to commissioning bespoke artwork for the property.
