This private development comprising of 57 No. units of which 38 No. units were new build detatached properties and 19 No. were conversions within an old Grade C listed mill buildings. The existing site was originally a linen and dye work and latterly a mushroom factory prior to acquisition by Campion Homes for redevelopment.
The existing mill building with the exception of the main façade and roof was in poor condition, as such the only viable option was façade retention and temporary support of the roof structure and coverings. Working hand in hand with the Contractor a system of working was developed that allowed re-construction internally as a progressive approach along the length of building reducing the amount of temporary works required.
New build elements used standard foundation and timber frame construction.
A new mini roundabout was formed at the site entrance with off site traffic calming features both within and remote from the site.
