An application for full planning approval has been submitted to Durham County Council for our clients Groundwork Services (Durham) Ltd, for a new office and workshop. The proposed facility will provide them with a new HQ, as well as space to maintain and service their fleet of commercial vehicles. Thanks to Michael Barron at Groundwork Services (Durham) Ltd, as well as the team including Engineers BDN and SAJ Transport Consultants for their help in developing the proposals.
 
Although we are known mainly for our specialist experience in the residential sector, predominantly in the development of social, affordable, and supported living schemes, we have extensive experience across a range of sectors, including commercial and industrial. HMH Architects Ltd are experienced in delivering new build and refurbished office spaces, as well as commercial units, and we are delighted to be working with Groundwork Services (Durham) Ltd to help them realise their project.

​Planning permission submitted and validated for the development of 12 affordable homes in Darlington for Incrementum Ltd and North Star Housing Group. 
 
All the dwellings will be Approved Document M(4) Category 2 standards, with one wheelchair adaptable home to Category 3. 
 
An exciting scheme that aspires to meet the upcoming Future Homes Standard, with target emissions around 75% lower than current standards, whilst being zero carbon ready.

Brilliant to see the first set of bungalows completed. A pleasure to see it come to reality. Congratulations to the team at Thirteen Group and Esh Group, as well as all those involved. 
We can't wait to see the how the rest of the scheme comes together!

We were delighted to attend the opening of Rivers House following the extensive refurbishment, conversion and extension from Thirteen Groups former housing office, to provide 18 new supported housing apartments for the local Chinese community. 

Delivering on complex issues, from flooding and needing to raise the internal ground floor level, to detailing fire compartmentation and integration with the existing structure. It's fantastic to see it all come together!

Congratulations to the whole team, including contractors Esh Group for delivering on a complex and challenging development.
