change of use

---

 This project involved the change of use from commercial to residential classification. The property, originally arranged over three floors with one room per level, required significant restoration. Situated within a nutrient neutrality catchment, we worked closely with the Peak Park Authority to ensure compliance. The existing structure suffered from extensive damp, damaged timbers, and a compromised roof. Collaborating with the builder, we fully treated the damp, replaced all damaged timbers, and installed a new slate roof with roof lights to maximise natural light throughout the home. 

 The property was previously used as a shop serving the local village. It is no longer in commercial use, and the clients have removed the original shopfront, replacing it with two windows that complement the overall aesthetic of the building. The new internal layout features a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, with the new windows allowing ample natural light to fill the space. Additionally, the property's use has been officially changed from commercial to residential.
