Project: Claydon Estate

Client 

Claydon Estate

Local Planning Authority

Buckinghamshire Council

Claydon Courtyard surrounds the Grade I listed property of Claydon House, located in Buckinghamshire. The courtyard hosts a range of shops and businesses. We worked on planning applications for two of the old staff residences to be converted into office space, as our client’s goal is to attract a wider range of businesses to diversify the courtyard and form a business park. 

Both of the buildings involved are listed buildings. As there was no proposed change to the interior of the buildings, no adverse impacts as a result of the proposals would be created. We produced a planning and heritage statement to ensure that this was conveyed to the planning officer and other consultees who would be considering the application.
