Abbot House – Planning Permission Granted!

/in /by

Huntingdonshire District Council have granted us permission for our scheme at Abbot House (2 West Street) in St Neots.  The permission is for a single storey side extension and a two storey rear extension formed in sympathetic materials but with some modern twists.

The client is delighted and is keen to press ahead with the construction process in the next week or two.  P McGregor and Son Ltd have been selected as the builder and the demolition of the existing conservatory and potting shed will commence very soon.  Then it is full steam ahead!  We will be tweeting progress during the works.

Preschool – Planning Permission Granted!

/in /by

We are delighted to say that we have been granted planning permission for a new building for a local charity, the Eaton Socon Preschool.

The design has been a collaborative process involving all the people committed to generating this new building – the preschool (staff and committee), the funding body, the local planning authority, the local town council, parents and neighbours. We also wanted to ensure the design was relevant to its context and setting but was distinct, and one that we at Devlin Architects would be proud of.

The new facility will include three interconnected classrooms for 100 children that are charismatic and open, with a feeling of intrigue and fun. The light scoops positioned around the perimeter and the large east facing openings will flood the interior with continuous skylight ensuring a comfortable environment for learning. The building will change from a dark wood external skin to a light and bright white interior, both with splashes of colour and ideally positioned windows to engage with the children.

The open heart of the building will link with the newly planted forest school area in the location of the existing cabins. This is coupled with the newly located front sensory garden that will offer safe external environments for the younger children to explore.

We are now looking forward to working towards a completed facility for this outstanding preschool provision!
