Grade II-listed Haggerston Baths receives planning approval
The Grade II-listed Haggerston Baths received unanimous planning approval last Wednesday. Create have been working alongside Castleforge Partners and Squire and Partners, providing Sustainability technical services, specifically BREEAM consultancy.
The proposals will re-purpose the pool hall and create a contemporary annex to provide public and community uses, including event spaces, gallery/exhibition spaces, leisure space, a café, a gymnasium and meeting rooms, as well as flexible workspace and workshops for local start-ups and emerging businesses.
The historic baths were built in 1904 and have been closed since 2000, falling into a state of disrepair in recent years. The new workspaces and community space will rejuvenate this historically significant local landmark to see it removed from Historic England’s at Risk Register. Insensitive mid-century interventions will be replaced with a respectful contemporary extension with materials designed to enhance the character of Haggerston Baths.
