We are proud to have supported the successful transformation of two vacant office buildings in Prudhoe into high-quality residential accommodation, while retaining the commercial units at ground floor level.
Our planning consultancy played a key role in securing approval for this sensitive mixed-use scheme, which involved both internal and external alterations to the existing buildings. Most notably, the project introduced two new dormers to create four well-designed residential flats on the upper floors.
The scheme strikes a careful balance between addressing local housing needs and preserving active commercial frontage. By maintaining the ground-floor retail units, the development contributes to the vitality of the town centre and supports ongoing economic activity in the area.
This project demonstrates how thoughtful design and planning can bring new life to vacant buildings, delivering sustainable, mixed-use developments that work for both people and place.
