Private listed building with a colony of bats

A local authority enforcement notice for historic alterations undertaken without the correct permissions was the least of their worries – there was also a thriving bat colony on the premises using the extension as a passageway between two buildings.

With a plethora of structural and building fabric weaknesses, the project quickly turned into a near rebuild. From the offset, we established the works couldn’t add any value to the property; the best outcome would be to hit the budget and programme.
