PLANS have been submitted for another multi-storey apartment block in Warrington town centre.
Architects Falconer Chester Hall have submitted a full planning application for an apartment development on busy Wilson Patten Street.
The proposed four-storey development would consist of 74 apartments and is being designed by the Manchester studio of Falconer Chester Hall for Park Equity Invest Limited.
The application sees the replacement of Arpley House, a building of some historic interest derived from its association with well-known local timber company R.A. Naylor Limited. The top of the door surround on Arpley House will be retained and displayed in the communal resident’s garden. The new development will make more efficient use of the foot print and incorporates basement car parking spaces, ground floor cycle store and resident’s lobby.
There will be a communal garden to the rear of the development.
Director Mike Gore said: “The aim is to deliver a confident, contemporary rendition of apartment living. The scheme looks to knit the street scene back together and provide a visual link with the existing Georgian Terraces along Wilson Patten Street. The proposed material palette will ensure the building sits well within its context.”
.Jeremy Clarke of Park Equity Invests Limited added: “This opportunity will provide a coherent development, making full use of the site resulting in energy-efficient residential accommodation.”
Other consultants on the scheme include Zerum -planning consultant.
