A £3.5m renovation and extension of the listed Town Hall to transform the derelict heritage site into workspace for the town’s expanding Digital and Creative sector. Our civil and structural engineers are working on the restoration which involves removing an unsympathetic 1960s extension and replacing it with a single-storey contemporary building and mezzanine, reinstating the original Italianate building and clock tower to their rightful prominence. Externally improved public realm around the building will improve accessibility and bolsters the amenity and biodiversity using nature-based solutions. Our geoconsultancy team delivered a comprehensive Phase 1 Desk Study and Phase 2 Site Investigation. This ensured the redevelopment was underpinned by a thorough understanding of site conditions, reducing potential uncertainties and facilitating informed design and construction decisions.
