Completed Greyhound Public House regeneration with retained historic buildings and new homes
The opportunity

Give a familiar local site a viable new future.

The scheme brings together building conversion, new homes, access, parking and landscape design in one coordinated masterplan, retaining the site's established character while unlocking its development potential.

Completed development

A heritage landmark retained at the heart of a new residential neighbourhood.

The completed scheme preserves the identity of the Greyhound and its traditional outbuildings while introducing a varied collection of new homes, landscaped frontages and legible streets that respond to the established village character.

The brief

To prepare and deliver a comprehensive redevelopment strategy for the Greyhound Public House site, combining sensitive reuse of established buildings with new residential development and a coordinated landscape and access strategy.

The challenge

The project required the relationship between the existing public house, traditional outbuildings, neighbouring properties, vehicle movement, parking and new housing to be resolved as one coherent place rather than as separate interventions.

Planning strategy

The planning approach uses the retention and conversion of characterful buildings as the foundation of the scheme, supported by carefully positioned new homes and environmental improvements across the wider site.

Design response

The architectural language draws on traditional pitched roofs, brickwork and familiar domestic proportions. New development is arranged to create legible routes, usable private spaces and a strong relationship with the retained buildings.

Project status

The regeneration scheme is complete. The retained Greyhound building, converted traditional structures and new homes now form an established residential neighbourhood.
