01 / Before works

An established building. A different use.

The July 2024 executive summary identified a four-storey office building close to the town centre and railway station. The plan was to use the existing structure for residential accommodation, with apartments across the ground and three upper floors.

03 / Completion

Keep more than one route open.

The original business plan considered individual sales, retention for rental and an accommodation-operator route. The apartments are now marketed for letting, including through PfP Students. The current presentation shows furnished homes and the detail of everyday use.
