conversion of former convent, north yorkshire


At Padgett Lavender Associates, Chris Padgett worked closely with the client for the redevelopment of this former convent school. From spotting the site, liaising with the local planning authority, assisting with negotiations with the owners, and ultimately working with the client's construction staff, we were involved at every stage in providing a development of 27 apartments, both conversion and new build, and twelve new build houses on a very steeply sloping site which has been warmly received by local people, English Heritage and the Countryside Agency. The site abuts the Temple Grounds, a Grade II* listed landscape.
