Wellwood Leslie Architects have recently secured Planning Approval for a regenerative development on Pitgaveny Street, Lossiemouth, featuring new retail units to street level and serviced apartment visitor accommodation above. The proposals seek to replace an existing vacant and dilapidated building in this premium location to re-animate the street frontage, supporting tourism to the local area and wider moray coast.
Through the strategic redevelopment of the existing site, 8no. serviced apartments offering short and medium stay rental are created above Class 1 retail accommodation on street level, taking the form of a contemporary “infill” to the street frontage looking out over Lossiemouth Harbour. The form of the building is split into 2 distinct gables, reflecting the scale and characteristics of Lossiemouth’s most historic buildings, and respecting the original eaves and ridge heights of the building to be replaced and adjacent context.
