Needham Hall is situated on Palatine Road and measures approximately 1.35 hectares (3.33 acres) in size.

The site is home to a variety of buildings, all of which were vacant and last used as student halls of residence.

The western half of the site is occupied by Needham Hall itself and the large lawns which adjoin it.

The eastern half of the site was dominated by three 3 storey accommodation blocks, built in the 1960/70’s, tennis courts and a row of detached garages located along the boundary of the site with The Lodge adjacent to Marie Louise Gardens.

The exteriors of the buildings were originally built as a workhouse in the early to mid 1800’s.

The Withington Hospital site became available for potential redevelopment following a wider strategic rationalisation of healthcare provision in South Manchester.

As a result, much of the Withington site became increasingly surplus to requirements. The majority of the remaining hospital buildings within the main site were made redundant or underused and some had been demolished as services have transferred to other sites.

An icon on the Lancaster skyline, this former mental asylum finally closed to patients in 2000.

Comprising of 16 hectares dominated by the main grade II listed Annexe building and the smaller Campbell House, the site languished for several years on the English Heritage ‘Buildings at Risk’ register.

Working closely with the HCA as landowner, P J Livesey have agreed an ingenious approach to save the listed buildings with enabling new build development built by our partner Story Homes, in total creating 400 new homes.

Enabling works to stabilise both buildings commenced in November 2012.

A 1980’s accommodation block will be demolished to allow construction of 13 new build family houses.

The formerly known as Mostyn House School, an icon on the main street of Parkgate for over 150 years, closed in 2010 and the building fell into disrepair. The roof structure on one building becoming so dangerous it needed propping, closing half of the main road.

After exchanging contracts, we achieved planning in Summer 2013 for conversion of the Grade II listed school buildings into 45 properties, together with 47 new build houses as enabling development in the grounds.
