The original Maran Cottage is a Grade II Listed house dating from the 16th century, standing in riverside gardens in the centre of Digswell. Originally built as 3 separate cottages which during the 1900’s underwent a programme of refurbishment and conversion into a single dwelling. In the 1980’s a new wing was added in the form of Maran House with all the original Elizabethan facades retained. HAL were engaged to seek planning and listed building consent to separate the new from the original into 2 dwellings by removing the gallery building. Pre-application advise was sought from the council prior to a formal permission which was approved.

Detailed drawings and a method statement for the works were produced to discharge planning conditions. HAL were also appointed to produce the building regulations drawings in conjunction with the structural engineer.
