Oak Tree Developments
first started at back in 1999, when we "banked" an
acre of development land in a fairly deprived area at Fairweather
Green in Bradford. Planning permission was sought and gained
for 20 new build, 3 bedroomed homes on the site. Then in 2001,
some two years later, we "banked" our second project,
the former Unit 4 Cinema in Shipley, West Yorkshire. We decided
to put ourselves into action by starting development with this
one. |

Formerly the Prince's
Dance Hall, the old Unit 4 had seen better days. With the onset
of purpose built, air conditioned cinemas, old cinemas like this
were tagged "flea pits", and with good cause. The public
had disowned the place and it had fallen badly into disrepair.
Something major had to be done and initial discussions with the
planners indicated demolition of the existing building and erection
of flats. Despite some nostalgic protests, planning was granted
for 14, 2 bedroomed flats and work commenced in late 2001. The
use of natural stone and slate, supplied and applied by local,
quality craftsmen, kept the building in character with it's surroundingsand
sales followed swiftly upon completion. Some 12 months later,
upon practical completion, it was sold out almost immediately
and aptly called "Princes Court". |
