Stretford Manchester studio 5plus Architects has completed a £22 million project to refurbish and extend the Grade Ⅱ-listed Trafford Town Hall. The 3,200m~2 scheme, which features a new low-rise office building, is connected to the existing town hall by a double-height glazed internal 'street'. Hampshire Sergison Bates Architects has won a rare planning victory for a 'country house clause' project under paragraph 55 of the National Planning Policy Framework -formerly PPS7. The home for Viscount Lymington replaces a redundant 1930s water tower on his estate at Farleigh Wallop.
