The Limes was a large derelict Victorian property, upon which we successfully obtained planning approval for 15 apartments & 5 townhouses in an efficiently short time frame.
Situated in the St James Conservation area in Didsbury, this proposal was a challenging planning process made possible by our use of design, modelling and an established relationship with Manchester City Council.
Various existing outlying 1980’s structures are to be demolished and replaced with four new town houses that share a language with the apartments and reflect the character of the areas architecture while taking a contemporary and elegant approach.
The scheme honestly acknowledges what is old and what is new, what is worth retaining and what is not. The addition of the townhouses will enhance the site’s potential given their key position and presence on Wilmslow Road. What is currently overgrown will be cleared and replaced with new boundary treatments of hard and soft landscaping that will hugely complement the wider setting.
Our public consultation was a great success in which we presented our proposal, using card models to communicate our design and engage with the neighbouring residents.
ATA worked closely with Manchester City Council, Heritage and Highways consultants throughout the process to ensure a collaborative and holistic approach to the design, respecting the conservation area status of the site.
Our design has now been completed on site by Property Alliance Group, and has won the Insider Awards Boutique Development of the Year 2024.
