The 19th century Chapel with Class B1 use was not listed but considered an unlisted heritage asset.  Converted into a gym, then offices and subsequently following the closure of that business in 2014 it remained vacant and fell into disrepair.

Located in a residential area and due to its poor natural light and no parking it was subsequently considered unsuitable for office use and various applications to bring it back into use failed.

​

With close liaison with the Planning Officer and by keeping the neighbourhood apprised with leaflet drops and application discussions; AGM managed to achieve consent for a more sensitive, car free scheme, for 4, 2 bed residential units over 3 floors with increased fenestration to the Burnham Road elevation whilst retaining the Argyle Terrace bookend configuration thereby respecting and melding the proposal to the existing streetscene.  Being in a sustainable location, in close proximity to public transport, a car free scheme was considered appropriate.
