Demolishing 1 Silk Street would waste carbon and damage local character. A retrofit could save both.
We’ve objected to the plans, now it’s time to rethink how we treat our existing buildings. Why demolish when we can refurbish?

We’re pleased to support plans for Torquay’s Old Town Hall. 🏛️
The proposals show real commitment to keeping the main hall in public use while maintaining the character of the building. A great example of how heritage can be cared for and still serve communities.
