EXCITING PLANS AT ALDERLEY PARK

We are excited to announce plans

We are excited to announce plans for an exclusive mix of conversion and newly built homes in the wonderful setting of Alderley Park in Cheshire.

The 200-acre park is one of the treasures of the North West with mature woodland, rolling fields and a picturesque lake. If approved this new development would be the first new properties to enjoy this beautiful location.

We will be creating two very different areas – a landscaped courtyard of mews homes within a Grade II listed courtyard and breathtaking contemporary apartments situated by the Water Gardens.

Approved by Cheshire East Council in February 2016, our application forms part of the plans to create a vibrant new community at Alderley Park. Along with new homes the plan also includes new sports and leisure facilities, a gastro pub, hotel and farm shop.

Managing Director Peter Livesey said: “We are incredibly excited about the potential of Alderley Park, it is a rare opportunity to create unique homes in a very special setting.

“Our in-house teams have worked with different architects and landscape experts to ensure our ambitions are delivered sensitively, adding to a vibrant new community where people can live, work and relax.”

We have plans for 57 properties.

A brave and imposing apartment building facing onto the Park’s Water Garden will provide just 23 prestigious two and three bedroom apartments. Each property will have its own private balcony cantilevered over the water to give residents a remarkable outlook over this unique setting. The exclusive fifth floor penthouses will have far reaching views out over the parkland.

The 17 conversion properties are set around the historic courtyard and will have either two or three bedrooms. An extension to the Grade II listed upper courtyard will provide 14 family sized townhouses with up to four bedrooms.

If planning is approved work on the scheme would begin this spring with the first homes available in early 2018.

This Development is Now Completed.

Assuring the Future of Storeton Hall

ASSURING THE FUTURE

We’re looking to design a scheme that will save Storeton Hall

Westwood Park

SECURING THE FUTURE OF A NATIONAL HERITAGE ASSET
We are developing plans which will secure the future of Storeton Hall, a nationally important heritage asset located on the Wirral, and in doing so will also provide additional high quality new housing to the area.

The medieval hall house, thought to date from c1372, is designated a Grade II* listed Scheduled Monument because of its rarity, but has been on Historic England’s ‘At Risk’ register for several years. Buildings of this type of construction in a domestic setting are indeed few and far between, and the hall plays a significant role not only in the history of Storeton but also the whole of the North West.

The Hall sits on a nine-acre site currently operating as an equestrian centre with stabling and an assortment of ancillary buildings. We have been working closely with the site owner, Peter Bowling, together with the local authority and Historic England, to find a solution that both saves the medieval building and protects the business and facilities.

The proposed sensitive housing scheme will act as ‘enabling development’ providing funds to cross-subsidise the refurbishment of the historic buildings. The heritage buildings will be central to the proposed development, with sympathetically designed surrounding houses set back to place the original structures in a more appropriate setting. A sensitive restoration and conversion of the buildings will retain historic features wherever possible, with the Hall vertically split to create two unique homes and the adjacent Storeton Hall Barn also divided into two properties.

EQUESTRIAN CENTRE ALSO RETAINED AT STORETON HALL
he more recently constructed buildings currently on the site are largely occupied by the equestrian centre and are in various states of disrepair. These would be largely demolished to make way for the enabling development of 27 new build homes. The proposed properties are a mix of three bed stone terraces, and four and five bedroom family homes featuring stunning oversized windows carefully balanced to achieve a courtyard feel.

Key to the proposed development is the consolidation of the existing equestrian facilities into a smaller footprint.

A proposed new barn building would be erected to replace the majority of the stables, alongside a new open arena, storage barn, horse walker and areas of car parking. The more efficient proposed accommodation will help support a local business into the future, without the need to develop further into the green belt.

Peter Bowling said: “Storeton Hall is integral to the history of The Wirral and it is hugely important to me that it is preserved, and I will leave a better legacy than I took over.

“I am responsible for the heritage building and have a duty of care for it. I have been looking for a solution for the last 25 years but of course that became more imperative when it was placed on the ‘At Risk’ register.

“The P J Livesey Group are specialists in sensitive enabling development to save important heritage buildings and I was very impressed with their track record and with Peter Livesey and the rest of his team.

P J Livesey Group director James Woodmansee said: “We have managed to find a solution for the site that provides sufficient housing to fund the refurbishment of the historic buildings all within the existing footprint of the equestrian centre.”

Public consultations explaining the plans have been held locally and a detailed planning application is due to be submitted shortly.

Terry’s Clock Tower Consultation

TERRY’S CLOCK TOWER CONSULTATION

We’ve subbmitted plans to convert the clock tower

We have submitted a joint planning application with Henry Boot Developments to convert the Clock Tower Building at the former Terry’s chocolate works site into unique apartments.

Our design would breathe life back into this iconic landmark with the addition of an innovative glazed extension to create 44 individually designed homes in a truly unique setting.

We are also incorporating improvements that would allow public access right to the top of the tower – including access onto the roof. This has always been our intention and discussions were instigated early with interested bodies whom have professed an interest in providing and managing this access for us.

We are now discussing the finer details in respect of dates, insurances and HSE compliance. There is huge demand to live within these magnificent listed buildings, already highlighted by unprecedented sales at The Residence, our conversion of the Art Deco Factory at the centrepiece of the site.

Since our spring launch events more than half the 170 apartments have sold and the first residents are now living there. We believe the mix of properties

from one-bedroom starter homes to expansive duplex penthouses is part of the development’s appeal and the apartments we want to create in the Clock Tower will further enhance the blend of properties available.

We are also proud of the landscaping of the site that has brought the formal gardens back into use and created a new boulevard approach

Exciting plans for a key high specification residential site in Woodbridge, Suffolk, have now been revealed.

The plans will see the restoration and redevelopment of the much loved Cedar House property with seven bespoke detached houses built on large plots in the mature grounds.

There will also be three affordable homes as part of the scheme.

INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED PROPERTIES
PJ Livesey director James Woodmansee, said: “This is a lovely site in a great location and we believe the houses we are planning here will be equally

special and highly sought after. As a company we do not have a standard house type so the properties have been designed individually to fit the locality and the topography of the site.”

“We have a strong affinity with East Anglia with many completed schemes such as Read Mills in Norwich, and also Whittlingham Hall and Crow Hall in Norfolk – all now thriving communities and desirable places to live.”

The Cedar House site was purchased by the PJ Livesey Group from Suffolk Coastal District Council as part of its consolidation of accommodation.

The Council’s current Melton Hall headquarters, which sit opposite the Cedar House site, are also currently being marketed with a view to converting into residential properties.

EXPERIENCE
James added: “The PJ Livesey Group has 35 years’ experience of converting historic properties into luxurious homes alongside developing bespoke, sympathetic new build homes across the UK.
