The existing County Hall is reimagined as a Later Living community, but it’s courtyard design could accomodate a variety of different uses from hotel or other commerical. The warehouse building on Busher Walk is converted to apartments and complemented by sensitively designed new structures, forming a stronger frontage to the yard and reinforcing the relationship with the historic collection of buildings at the rear of Stricklandgate. A new linear frontage along Busher Walk addresses the rear elevations of properties on Cross Street, helping to define and enhance the streetscape. The scheme retains mature trees wherever possible and introduces new soft landscaping, contributing to SuDS, biodiversity gains, and the overall character of the development. Retained parking
