New schools and Olde hotels

Rob, Andy, Dan and Mike went on a site visit to Rosehill Special School last week. This school comprises of 3 'clusters' of classrooms and a central 'core' building, some refurbished existing buildings and some newly built. Work is nearing completion now, with the school expected to re-open on the site in September.

Also this week our planning application for a mixed use development at the rear of the Olde English Hotel in Matlock has been submitted. The new building has been developed to be a polite and well proportioned neighbour to the historic hotel, through a rigorous study of the existing compositional cues.
