Planning Appraisals:

The Rectory, Maulden, Beds.
Client: Kingshall Estates

Working on behalf of a local developer, we were asked to examine the potential of redeveloping the Old Rectory in Maulden. The existing dwelling, erected in the 1930s, was in a poor state and the Diocese of St. Albans was investigating the potential of creating a small development that would contribute towards the provision of a new Rectory dwelling.

We identified, through negotiation, the potential for an enclave of five dwellings. A sketch proposal was submitted to the Local Planning Authority to show how the site could be developed. This was then used as the basis for a successful planning application.

Feasibility Study and sketch Layouts

As well as investigating the planning context, policies and site constraints, we also investigate the physical potential through sketch schemes and feasibility studies. These illustrative proposals can then form the basis of positive discussion with the local planning authority.
