The proposals will provide five student flats, as part of ambitious plans to regenerate Northampton town centre
The student flat designs developed by GSSArchitecture have been carefully developed, considering the suitability of materials and overall appearance within this conservation area.
The ground floor area of the retained Orient House building will be refurbished to provide two retail units on Kettering road.
GSSArchitecture is working alongside Dishley 101 Ltd, who are the developers responsible for the new scheme.
Embracing an opportunity for a disused site
Director at Dishley 101, Danny Innes, said: “It is fantastic news that the project has secured planning permission and we are excited to see GSS’ plans come to fruition.
“It’s always great to have the opportunity to redevelop a disused site in an important town centre location, creating something that is going to bring significant benefit for the town.”
Tom Jagger, associate and architect leading the project at GSSArchitecture, added: “We are delighted to be working on another exciting project, which continues GSS’ long history of Northampton town centre regeneration schemes.
“Bringing students closer to the town centre will position them closer to amenities, with the added benefit of helping to increase footfall on the high street.
“It has been great working with Danny Innes at Dishley 101 Ltd, and Adrian Clubbe at Whites Estate Agents and with planning approval now granted, we can look forward to the project progressing further.”
