Our Catherine Hughes Building in Oxford has been awarded a certificate by the Oxford Preservation Trust in the new buildings category. The OPT Awards celebrate the contribution that buildings and environmental projects can make to Oxford’s character, its streets, and its green spaces.
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.
