After two years we contacted the owners again, noticing that no development had taken place. The site was becoming scruffy and the building derelict. The owners were incurring significant costs on the buildings upkeep alone.

With our experience, we advised the owner of alternative schemes and entered into an agreement with them whereby we would take on the responsibility for improving the planning scheme. We would also cover all costs and the work involved in such a task.

After successful planning was granted, we have offered to guaranteed sale to the owners. We will then build out the scheme through external contractors.

The owners, planners and local residents are extremely happy to see this building of historical significance saved, and the area next to a county park, tidied up and brought up to the standard of local properties.
