The brief

Client - Capital Developments (London) Ltd.

Contract Administrator - Conception Architects Studio, Gothic House, Barker Gate, Lace Market, Nottingham, NG1 1JU Site Address - 21-23 High Street South, Dunstable, LU6 3SA Outline of Proposed Works Works to be carried out under the Dunstable HSHAZ and shall include the reinstatement of traditional historic shopfronts, repair and/or reinstatement of 1st floor windows on both properties, the repair of the front elevation, including the reinstatement of rainwater goods, and historic roofs.

Description of Site Number 21-23 is an unlisted property and sits inside the Dunstable Conservation Area.

Buildings within this area have in recent decades been characterised with inappropriate post-war modern shopfronts that have distracted from the historic aesthetics of the buildings and the Conservation Area in general.

Number 21 & 23 have both been fitted with relatively modern shopfronts, which appear to be obscuring potentially historic details.

The 1st floor of number 21 has also been fitted with a large picture window that has also meant that a large section of the historic elevation has been removed.

The 1st floor windows at number 23 have been boarded over and will need to be explored to determine their condition.
