RAF Bentley Priory

Client: VSM Estates
Location: Stanmore, London
Architect: Robert Adam Architects

Brief

Part of a comprehensive design team including Robert Adam Architects, GVA Grimley and Halcrow Yolles to achieve a successful planning consent for major redevelopment of the historic RAF site.

Approach

As Bentley Priory is part of a major picturesque landscape with a Victorian-era Italian garden LiZLaKe played a key role in locating new buildings and infrastructure on this landscape-led project. Proposals for the restoration and long-term management of the historic landscape were prepared as a setting for the proposed residential development and the new use of the listed mansion as a museum. LiZLaKe were responsible for the preparation of a Landscape Conservation Management Plan and all landscape related documents and plans for submission to the Local Planning Authority.

Outcome

Following extensive consultations the planning committee of the London Borough of Harrow approved the application in July 2008.
