Those of you that have been paying attention will know about the progressive decline of the Abbey Church in Dunbar<\/a> and the extended planning shenanigans<\/a>, which ended up in a failed appeal to establish an audacious 5 bed modern home inside the shell of the B listed church. Graham Armet, local architect has bounced back with a fresh proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shell concept has been retained and now accommodates a spacious garden, and much more modest small and simple home over 2 floors. There’s every attempt to keep a fair amount of the old, the main structural elements are retained, as did the previous proposal, though realistically this one should be easier to implement as the woodwork and roof, mostly in a poor state, will now be removed. What I have seen of this proposal makes me think that it is realistic and achievable. I am especially intrigued by the semi public element to the gardens, which certainly gets my approval. I hope the planners work with the developer and give this the green light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
