The majority of 2009 was a difficult period for the construction industry as a
whole, with the recession having a major impact on all private development.
Despite the problems of the market place, 105 West have maintained and consolidated
their position within the Bristol area.
Commercial
105 West have gained planning and listed buildings permissions for the
conversion of a substantial grade 2 listed villa from commercial offices to a
day nursery. This project in Clifton required sensitive adaptation of the existing
building and restoration of some original features as well as highways
alterations in the area of the access to the site.
105 West have also submitted the building regulations application. Works are about to commence on site.
Urban Regeneration
A run down large former public house in central Bristol is to be converted to
residential use. This project is currently in the feasibility stage with the size
of the project yet to be defined. However, it is likely the development will be
in the region of 50 bedrooms, split over a number of residential units with a substantial
new build element.
Domestic
A history of difficulties gaining permission to carry out alterations to a grade 2 listed
property on the outskirts of Bristol prompted the house owner to contact 105
West. Listed buildings consent has been gained for first floor alterations to the
rear of the property.
Sheltered Housing
This project has moved from a feasibility study to the final stages of
preparation for a planning submission for 8 sheltered housing units. The proposed development is within
registered Park and Garden situated in a conservation area, adjacent to a large
property used as a nursing home. Informal pre-application discussions with the
local authority and the Garden Historic society have informed the nature of the
proposed development. The proposed development is a combination of a traditional central structure reflecting the historic development of the site, with visually light contemporary additions.
Affordable Housing
A feasibility study is being carried out by 105 West for a development of 24
affordable housing units in a village in South Gloucestershire. The feasibility
stage is nearing completion and is likely to lead to a planning application for
the scheme in early 2010.
Domestic
Planning permission has been gained for the extension and alteration of a
property in a Bristol suburb. These alterations added one study, one bedroom,
two en-suite bathrooms, a breakfast room and a utility area. The scheme also
added a pitched roof above the original flat roof adding an additional floor to
the property.
