Keeping an existing facade can offer multiple advantages. For one, it respects the history and aesthetic character of Chickerell, maintaining a sense of place. It can also speed up the planning permission process, as often retention is favoured by local councils. It may also lower overall project expenses by integrating the current building structure rather than completely demolishing and rebuilding from scratch. If you’re looking to blend new construction with the unique character of Chickerell, facade retention might be the ideal option.

Before deciding on facade retention, it’s important to consider a few things. The structural integrity of the existing facade needs to be assessed, and its design must be suitable for integration with the new structure. Project scale and budget also come into play. We will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if facade retention is the right approach for your project, discussing with you the challenges and benefits of this option.
