Architechtural Services:

The Rectory, Maulden, Beds.
Client: Kingshall Estates Ltd.

Having established the site's potential, we developed a brief with the client and then gained agreement on the approach from the Local Planning authority Urban Design Officer. Needing a unique response because of the site's character and context, we developed five bespoke dwellings, which combined to create a converted farmstead.

PPS prepared full planning drawings and have been commissioned to prepare Building Regulations Plans and Sections. The design approach was well received and an approval was gained on the first submission.

High Street, Stagsden
Client: Private

Achieving a balance between the client's brief and the site constraints is challenging for any designer and even more challenging when the Local Planning authority are not keen on the proposals. PPS were commissioned for the planning and design of a single plot in Stagsden, Bedfordshire.

The site, adjacent to a Grade II Listed Rectory and Grade I Listed Church was well screened from long distance views but could not be separated from the setting of the Rectory and Church. A well considered Georgian Villa was negotiated and designed by PPS. The commission lead to building regulation plans and full working drawings.

Harveys Bar, Bedford
Client: Triple G Leisure Ltd.

We also receive commissions to design conversion schemes for existing buildings, whether it be new uses or residential conversions of redundant offices. PPS were asked to prepare plans and detailed proposals for a new wine bar on Bedford High Street. The Grade II Listed Building had been used as a fast food takeaway with offices above.

Detailed elevations were prepared from site surveys and intricate façade details and metal work details were replicated at 1:50 scale in order to satisfy the Local Planning Authority Conservation Officer.
