PROJECT / RINGWOOD HIGH STREET

Giving Ringwood High Street its life back.

The former NatWest at 11 High Street has stood empty, with a blank, closed-up frontage in the middle of the Conservation Area. We’re bringing it back into use.

Location
Ringwood, Hampshire
LPA
New Forest DC
Setting
Conservation Area
Status
In planning
01 — THE SHOPFRONT

Our application replaces the closed-up frontage with a glazed shopfront, evenly spaced windows, level-access doors and timber-effect cladding, and removes the old cash-machine openings. The council’s own Conservation Area Appraisal lists the building as one that needs improving.

02 — THE CAFÉ

For the ground-floor café we designed the kitchen extraction so that a large spread of roof plant is replaced by one small flue in the corner of the rear flat roof, with the noisy equipment moved inside. A heritage statement and planning statement went in with it, and we prepared and submitted the premises licence application.

03 — WHAT WE DELIVERED
  • Shopfront and elevation design
  • Heritage statement for the Conservation Area
  • Kitchen extraction design and planning application
  • Premises licence application
  • Building regulations drawings
04 — WHERE IT STANDS
