CHAPEL STREET, THIRSK

Strategic Regeneration, Financial and Delivery Advice

Urban Delivery and Levitate Architecture and Design Studio were appointed by the Council to help inform the potential acquisition of the closed health centre and surrounding land. The ambition was to secure a health facility for the town and deliver assisted living and other types of homes, including Homes for Heros.

The work involved assessing the refurbishment potential of several existing buildings, establishing the development potential of the surrounding land and creation of appropriate parking, landscape, and connection improvements to the adjacent centre of Thirsk.

Options were tested at a variety of densities and high-level financial viability assessments undertaken. Delivery options were also considered based on the assumption the Council could purchase the land and buildings.
