Combined Colleges Boathouse gets the go ahead

Rounding off a hat-trick week of planning approval, RHP are delighted to have received the go ahead on behalf of the Leys School and Selwyn, Churchill and King’s Colleges for a new boathouse to be built off Logan’s Way in Cambridge. The site and existing boathouse are located in an area with a high propensity for flooding and the current facilities are outdated and insufficient to meet the storage facility and training demands required.

Plans drawn up by RHP will provide the four clubs with a high quality, state-of-the art new boathouse with the majority of the accommodation on the first floor and out of flood level.

Planning approval granted for Hills Road Sixth Form College

RHP are proud to have worked with the award winning Hills Road Sixth Form College (HRSFC) on a number of projects over the years. Continuing this successful association, we are pleased to have received planning approval from Cambridge City Council, on behalf of HRSFC, for a new £3.6 million scheme to considerably extend and enhance their current classroom and performing arts facilities.

HRSFC was recognized as the State Sixth Form College of the Year in 2013 and regularly receives OFSTED Grade 1 'Outstanding' in all areas accolades. This new development will provide facilities as part of HRSFC's ongoing forward planning for future growth and flexibility and thus continuing to enable the College to deliver excellence.

£5 million Buxton’s redevelopment receives planning green light

RHP’s plans for the redevelopment of the former Buxton’s site on Ditchling Road received approval from Brighton and Hove City Council last night.

The motion was carried by 10 votes to 2 and will give the site (which has been derelict for over 8 years) a dramatic new facelift with a new four storey building for Kings Colleges, a language college offering GCSE, A Level and pre-university preparation to foreign students. The plans allow for a mixed use scheme accommodating a new combined college facility and student halls of residence and help to further animate the street scene along Ditchling Road.

RHP’s designs have taken care to preserve and conserve the prevailing characteristics of the local area, adding a further boost to the regeneration of the London Road and Lewes Road corridors, whilst creating an exciting new site for Kings Colleges’ newest UK outpost.
