The Galleries, Warley Hospital

A former NHS grade II listed Victorian hospital, The Galleries, Warley Hospital dating from the mid-19th century is being sympathetically refurbished into a mixture of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom luxury apartments set within formal landscaped grounds and courtyards. 131 apartments are being created within the main hospital and ancillary out-buildings in the heart of the commuter belt. Working closely with the client, an appraisal of the approved scheme has been undertaken with the scheme being developed further in order to provide a more sympathetic remodelling and an increase in the overall density of the development. This has involved the close liaising with local planners and listed building officers, which resulted in amendments to the original approval and the submission of additional planning applications in line with government policies regarding regeneration and density.
