PAA ltd prepared and managed a Planning and Building Regulations package for the conversion of a former bank into a new apartment hotel, located within the Buxton Conservation Area. Buxton is an elegant spa town in Derbyshire, celebrated for its Georgian and Victorian architecture, historic Crescent and Pavilion Gardens, and its status as a cultural and visitor hub set within the Peak District.

The Building Safety Act was introduced after the Grenfell Tower tragedy to make sure buildings are designed and built safely, and that everyone involved is clearly responsible for their part in the process. But it is not just about high-rise blocks: it now affects all types of building work, including housing developments, extensions and conversions.
