About the Project
Plans Direct proudly presents our successful engagement with Folly Hall Farm, a distinguished Grade 2 listed building in Bradford. The ambitious project involved the addition of a bedroom and an expanded living space to meet the owners’ vision. Given the complexities inherent in dealing with a listed structure, Plans Direct took a comprehensive approach, offering a feasibility study, a pre-application to the local planning authority, and a submission for Listed Building Consent pre-application.
Project Highlights
- Feasibility Study and Pre-Application: Recognizing the intricacies involved in altering a Grade 2 listed building, Plans Direct initiated a feasibility study. This laid the groundwork for a pre-application submitted to the local planning authority and the Listed Building Consent pre-application, demonstrating our commitment to due diligence.
- Massing Study: Plans Direct conducted a detailed massing study to understand the scale, mass, and proportions of the existing building. This provided a crucial foundation for the subsequent design stages.
- Traditional and Contemporary Design Options: Acknowledging the importance of architectural harmony, Plans Direct presented both traditional and contemporary design options. Each design adhered to the scale and proportions of the original building, ensuring a seamless integration of the proposed additions.
- Creating a Subservient Addition: The main challenge in this project was to design an addition that remained subservient to the listed building, respecting its historical significance. Plans Direct navigated this complexity by carefully crafting a design that complemented the existing structure without overpowering its character.
Our Approach
Plans Direct’s approach to Folly Hall Farm involved a delicate balance between innovation and preservation. We aimed not only to meet the functional needs of the owners but also to preserve the historical integrity of the Grade 2 listed building.
