AUCKLAND CASTLE PLANNING APPROVAL

MARCH 2015

Auckland Castle Planning Approval

We have received planning approval and Listed Building Consent for the restoration and extension to Auckland Castle in Co. Durham. The project involves repairs and alterations to the existing listed buildings, a new museum extension and a visitor reception building facing the town square. Given the high sensitivity of this unique site, the planning process took almost one year, involving a very constructive dialogue with English Heritage and Durham County Council. The designs had overwhelming support from local people.

BELL CAST FOR BISHOP EDWARD KING CHAPEL

Bell Cast for Bishop Edward King Chapel

The bell for the Bishop Edward King Chapel has been cast at the Whitechapel Foundry. Niall McLaughlin Architects won RIBA competition to design the new chapel for Ripon Theological College in Oxfordshire in July 2009. The project is currently on site and due for completion in early 2013.
