Myplace Stage Two Architects

We are pleased to announce that Dunn and CTM have been appointed as the second stage architects for the Hastings Myplace project. We were very happy working with them during stage 1 and therefore pleased that they got through the robust stage 2 selection process which was advertised across Europe.

We hope to soon receive word from the funders as to whether they will convert our in-principle grant into 'real' money in order that we can progress this exciting project.

Unfortunately BIG's decision has been somewhat delayed and we have not received any indication of the scheduled decision date, however we are in regular communication with them and we are hopeful that the news that planning permission has been granted will help them to progress their decision making.

Myplace at St Mary in the Castle receives planning permission

Just a quick update to let you know that last night Hastings Borough Council's planning committee unanimously agreed our application for Planning Permission / Listed Building Consent to refurbish / convert St Mary in the Castle as a youth managed arts and culutral facility.

We are very happy with the news and are now looking forward to receiving a decision from the funders as to whether they are happy to see the project go ahead.
