On the 11th October Ben Hayes, Holly Galbraith, Tamsin Hanke, Chris Hildrey and Alastair Crockett took part in the Great Eastern run half marathon as part of a group of 90 runners to raise money for the charity ‘Hunts Community Cancer Network.’ They put in months of training and so far the group have raised a massive £34,000.
We have received planning approval and Listed Building Consent for the restoration and extension to Auckland Castle in Co. Durham. The project involves repairs and alterations to the existing listed buildings, a new museum extension and a visitor reception building facing the town square. Given the high sensitivity of this unique site, the planning process took almost one year, involving a very constructive dialogue with English Heritage and Durham County Council. The designs had overwhelming support from local people.
