Planning application for Warrington scheme comprising 74 apartments

Wilson Patten Street plans

North West architecture business Falconer Chester Hall has submitted a full planning application for an apartment development on Wilson Patten Street, a main arterial route into Warrington town centre.

The proposed four-storey development will consist of 74 apartments and is being designed by the Manchester studio of Falconer Chester Hall for Park Equity Invest.

The application sees the replacement of Arpley House, a building of local interest derived from its association with RA Naylor Limited.

The top of the door surround on Arpley House will be retained and displayed in the communal resident’s garden.

The new development will make more efficient use of the footprint and incorporates basement car parking spaces, ground floor cycle store and residents’ lobby.

There will be a communal garden to the rear of the development.

FCH director, Mike Gore, said: “The aim is to deliver a confident, contemporary rendition of apartment living. The scheme looks to knit the street scene back together and provide a visual link with the existing Georgian terraces along Wilson Patten Street.

“The proposed material palette will ensure the building sits well within its context.”

Jeremy Clarke, of Park Equity Invests, said: “this opportunity will provide a coherent development, making full use of the site resulting in energy-efficient residential accommodation.”

Other consultants on the scheme include Zerum – planning consultant.
