Wakefield Poyser Partnership has from inception worked actively on many projects within the conservation field. This includes work on all disciplines of conservation from the renovation, alteration, conversion and extension of existing listed property within conservation areas to new build within the a conservation area.

We have over the years strived to find a balance between the legislative agencies and interested parties who wish to protect our built heritage and those who might wish to utilise such buildings in the modern world for current day living.

The Malthouse

front elevation Malthouse Care Home – a former Victorian Maltings Grade 2 listed which was converted into sheltered housing and then re-converted into a care home of 1670m2

The practice will undertake almost any size of commission within this field. This can be based within a private residential property to a large industrial commercial conversion.

Knowleton Lodge

A former Victorian Coach House that has extensively been refurbished and extended to the current format.
Much of the work undertaken by the practice relates to change of use for redundant listed buildings. Many of the buildings referred to the practice are former agricultural farm buildings. Modern farming with a high dependency on large mechanised combines makes former agricultural buildings appropriate for alternative use.
