There is a chance to restore this building in Hamilton Square Area and create lower cost community led housing. The building was designed by locally renowned architect, Walter Scott. It is an architectural link between this conservation area and the nearby Clifton Park Conservation Area, where you can still see some of Scott’s finest work.
There are two commercial leases on the ground floor. These would provide an additional income.
We want to look at how the area around this building could be brought back to life and be a gateway into the conservation area, as shown in the artist’s impressions below. This is in line with the council’s intentions for the area.
