Mixed Use Development : "The Old Town" Edinburgh - The Royal Mile

Enabling works for this important mixed use scheme on the Tannery Site commenced in January 2008. Archaeological excavation work will start in the Spring and is due to take 3 months. Construction works for the new build of the hotel and residential elements scheduled to commence early next year.

The development, behind Jurys Hotel in the heart of the Old Town, received an amended Full Planning Consent in December 2007, extending the Jurys Hotel by 126 bedrooms. cfp have also been appointed by Jurys Hotels to undertake the fit-out and other works for the hotel, including new kitchen and restaurant facilities.

The scheme represents a major regeneration of a complete urban block of the Old Town, creating an enhanced urban context for Bishop Sydserff's House, built in 1561, and Trinity Aps, an ancient monument. The layout and design is sensitive to the heritage of the site and the proposals are welcomed and supported by the Cockburn Association and the Royal Fine Arts Commission for Scotland (now Architecture and Design Scotland). The World Heritage Trust, who monitor development of the Old Town, commented that it was a "wonderful" plan.  "We very much welcome these proposals, we think it is an exemplary design.  It has been a long time coming, but that makes it even better". A spokesman for Historic Scotland stated "There is no doubt that filling this very large vacant backland site will benefit the continued regeneration of the Old Town".

cfp's design for this multi-function GP Practice and Clinic near Canary Wharf has received planning permission and will shortly commence construction.

A New Primary School in Tatsfield, Surrey

Following on from the success of their Southfield Park School, cfp have been commissioned to design another entirely new primary school in Tatsfield, due to start construction in May 2008.

The school will be built on an extremely sensitive site within green belt land, and cfp's design moulds the school to the existing landscape by working with the contours of the sloping site. Much thought has been given to the internal layout of the building, which has been the subject of detailed consultation with the school staff, governors and parents.

The sectional arrangement, elevational treatment and proposed green roof reflect cfp's commitment to an environmentally conscious design approach, and renewable energy sources are being considered as a fundamental part of the scheme.
