Project overview

A sensitive mixed-use proposal that revitalises the site as a key commercial and retail destination within the historic setting of Stony Stratford. Building on a detailed review of the planning history and heritage significance, the scheme retains the existing building and footprint, restoring and enhancing its frontages, colonnade, and public permeability.

Key features of the proposed scheme include:

  • Upgraded frontages on Watling Street and strengthened presence within the Conservation Area.
  • Preserving the existing structure and key public routes, including the reinstatement of original details.
  • Up to 39 one and two-bed apartments with renovated ground floor retail, refurbished grade A office space, and improved community facilities including dental surgery and new event space with an independent cafe.
  • Sensitive second floor/roof extension respectful of the site’s heritage and key architectural detailing.
  • Enhanced public realm, with improved landscaping, outdoor green spaces, reinstatement of original architectural street furniture and better connectivity through the site.
