Heritage Conversion of The Old Store, Waddington
Fytche-Taylor Planning secured full planning permission for the sensitive conversion of a historic former village shop within Waddington Conservation Area into three high-quality homes, preserving an important local landmark while delivering sustainable residential development.
Bringing The Old Store Back to Life
The Old Store is a distinctive eighteenth-century building in the heart of Waddington that served the village for generations before becoming vacant in 2020. Working with Bailfarm Ltd and their appointed architect, Fytche-Taylor Planning took the role of lead agent and secured permission to transform the former shop into three high-quality homes, ensuring the long-term future of this important historic building.
Sensitive Heritage-Led Design
Located within Waddington Conservation Area and adjacent to a Grade II listed building, the proposals required a careful balance between preserving the property's historic character and delivering modern homes. Our design input and heritage advice ensured that the plans retained the building's defining features while creating attractive, practical living spaces that respected the surrounding historic environment.
"Excellent and pragmatic approach by Fytche-Taylor Planning, ultimately ending in success with planning permission granted".

The Outcome
