The Design Process
Prior to this scheme, 56 Dale Street was a vacant warehouse, becoming increasingly dilapidated. Planning Permission was granted in 2002 for conversion to apartments on the basement and ground floors, but was never enacted. In 2007 permission was granted for conversion to office use, but again, never actioned.
Stephenson STUDIO were approached by the owners of the building to convert it into luxury apartments. A full planning and listed building consent application was made 19th December 2013 following a pre-application meeting. Due to a number of contentious 'interventions', which were eventually agreed following extensive consultation with Conservation officer, full consent was received in August the following year.
