MCINERNEY HOMES - BELGRAVE MILL, DARWIN

The principal objective of this layout is to respond sensitively and effectively to the distinctive characteristics of the site, which has evolved over the past 150 years.

Historically, the mill buildings on the site were constructed to follow the natural hillside topography, resulting in a series of six terraced plateaus ascending from Bolton Road at the base to Equity Street at the top. In keeping with this historical context, the redevelopment retains these plateaus, enabling a phased approach to construction across six clearly defined levels.

The proposed dwellings are strategically oriented toward Bolton Road. This layout, in combination with the site’s natural elevation changes, ensures that each home benefits from open views across the town and towards the hills beyond. A central design feature is the creation of a safe and accessible pedestrian route, linking all six plateaus via a continuous footpath. This route begins at a new pedestrian crossing on Bolton Road and is supported by high-quality hard and soft landscaping, enhancing the pedestrian experience and promoting walkability throughout the development.

Situated just a few minutes’ walk from the town centre, the scheme thoughtfully reinterprets the historic urban grain of back-of-pavement development. Through its contemporary approach, the layout repairs and strengthens the existing urban fabric, reinstating the traditional street matrix and reinforcing the character of the surrounding narrow street patterns.

McCARTHY STONE - HIGH STREET, STANDISH

MCK Associates were appointed by McCarthy Stone, in partnership with Your Life Management Services, to develop proposals for a specialist retirement living scheme on High Street, Standish.

The development is designed to meet the growing demand for elderly accommodation in the area, providing a safe, supportive, and well-connected environment. With a strong emphasis on independence and well-being, the scheme aligns with McCarthy Stone’s commitment to “providing high-quality homes and services to make later life a happy and rewarding experience.” The design incorporates accessible living spaces, shared amenities, and carefully considered outdoor areas to promote social interaction, health, and quality of life for residents.

Private Client

MCK Associates were appointed to develop a scheme for the demolition and replacement of an existing rural cottage, set within the open countryside of the Ribble Valley. The project required a sensitive design approach to ensure the new dwelling respected the rural character of its surroundings, while providing a high-quality, modern living environment. The proposal balanced traditional architectural elements with contemporary features, in response to both the site's context and the client's aspirations.

ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF LANCASTER - ST. MARY OF THE ANGELS, BOLTON-LE-SANDS

The site is located within the curtilage of the Grade II listed Roman Catholic Church of St. Mary of the Angels and forms an integral part of the listed building. Following the amalgamation of three local parishes, the existing Presbytery became surplus to requirements and was left unoccupied.

To support the ongoing upkeep of the church and ensure the long-term viability of the site, a decision was made to sensitively convert the Presbytery into three self-contained residential apartments. The conversion included two two-bedroom units and one one-bedroom unit, with the design carefully balancing the need for modern accommodation while preserving the building's historic character and architectural integrity.

In addition to the residential units, the ground floor was reconfigured to provide new accommodation for the Church, including a dedicated meeting room, sacristy, and toilet facilities for use by the parish priest and community.

MCK Associates were responsible for delivering the project from inception to completion, managing all stages including planning, design, tendering, and construction. The scheme represents a successful example of adaptive reuse, offering both heritage preservation and functional reinvention.

MCK Associates Ltd. were commissioned to develop a scheme for the extension of an existing holiday park, tailored to meet the specific requirements of the client’s brief. The scope of work included the preparation of initial concept designs, supported by high-quality visual material to aid in the planning process.

As part of our involvement, MCK produced a 3D animated site flythrough and a series of concept images to effectively communicate the vision and layout of the proposed extension. These visual tools were instrumental in illustrating the design intent and enhancing stakeholder engagement in advance of the planning application submission.

MCK Associates submitted a design entry for a RIBA Competition for a new mosque located near the M6/M55 junction in Broughton, Preston. The proposal was developed collaboratively by the entire MCK team, with the dual objectives of responding creatively to a complex brief and deepening our collective understanding of mosque architecture and its cultural context.

The process proved to be a valuable and enriching experience, marked by thoughtful dialogue, design exploration, and team-wide engagement. While the brief presented significant challenges and the design journey was not without its complexities, it ultimately led to the creation of a submission that reflected both our commitment to architectural excellence and our respect for the community it aimed to serve. The final design was one the whole team was proud to present.

TRAM POWER - PRESTON CITY CENTRE

Tram Power is pioneering the introduction of modern tram services to Preston, offering a sustainable and convenient transport solution designed to reduce congestion and alleviate parking challenges across the city. The City Class trams, with a capacity of up to 200 passengers, provide an energy-efficient alternative to car travel—operating quietly and powered by renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power.

The Guild Line is the first of a proposed four-line tram network that will connect key areas of Preston. It is designed to link Park & Ride facilities on the outskirts of the city with major destinations including the railway station, retail parks, hospitals, Deepdale Stadium, and the University of Central Lancashire. The new system aims to enhance connectivity, support economic growth, and improve air quality by encouraging a shift to low-carbon public transport.

MCK Associates have been responsible for managing the planning applications for the Guild Line, and for co-ordinating the associated public consultation process. This has involved working closely with local authorities, stakeholders, and the community to ensure the successful progression of this transformative infrastructure project.

TAYLOR WIMPEY - SPORTS AND SOCIAL CLUB, WHITTINGHAM PARK

The new Sports and Social Club, located adjacent to St. John’s Church, serves as the central hub of a newly developed sports complex on the site. This purpose-built facility replaces the former clubhouse and has been carefully designed to support a wide range of recreational, social, and sporting activities.

The two-storey building provides a flexible mix of spaces and amenities, including:

• Three multi-purpose function rooms (configured as a lounge, games room, or for sports and social use)

BELLWAY HOMES - HORWICH LOCO WORKS, 

MCK Associates were employed by Bellway Homes (Manchester) Limited to develop this challenging brownfield site.

Bispham hall, The scheme has been designed as a response to its unique location and existing site characteristics.

It respects the location of the existing listed building, namely Gauntley House and also the locations of the retained on site buildings, namely BW6, BW3 and BW2.

Approaching the site along Smethurst Road we have designed a cluster of stone-faced buildings, which will form a street scene with Gauntley House and the recently converted stone barns. To the front of these properties we have suggested stone boundary walls, again reflecting the existing boundary walls. Moving from this group to the north we have designed another cluster of dwellings of differing heights and styles. Parking is located in secure enclosed overlooked areas away from the highway.

In conclusion we have designed a unique scheme, which responds to its location in a sympathetic and pleasing manner, using complimentary facing materials and boundary treatments. The scheme introduces spaces, which flow out into the open land surrounding the development, and introduces a network of permeability, which again moves out beyond the scheme into the existing public footpaths.

High quality hard and soft landscaping is proposed and dwellings have been designed in a style bespoke to this unique location. Buildings of historical importance have been retained and enhanced. An interesting range of building heights and massing has been created, none of which exceed the height/massing of the existing buildings on site.

KEEPMOAT HOMES - BRANCH ROAD, PARLIAMENT STREET, BURNLEY

Residential development comprising of 132 No. new dwellings as Phases 3 & 4 of the wider Burnley Wood Regeneration Strategy, originally a Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder Initiative Area. 

A modern apartment building situated on Bury old roada major route into Manchester and Salford city centres.

Catterall gates lane Catterall, This site located on the outskirts of Garstang provides a contemporary design set alongside the local golf course.

The designs provide a modern, vibrant development that suits its natural surroundings.

The scheme involved the construction of a four storey timber framed apartments block and a mixture of three storey town houses and detached dwellings

mck successfully gained Planning approval for 70 houses on land off Chapel Hill to allow a new residential development for United Utilities Property Services.

The proposals included the renovation of 53 Chapel Hill and the associated barn. These derelict buildings are located within the conservation area and known as s target for anti-social behaviour and vandalism.

The shortage of new houses within the borough help to deliver much-needed homes in Ribble Valley, offering a mix of housing types and sizes. The plans provide new private family homes, as well as a proportion of affordable housing to cater for local needs, such as first-time buyers struggling to get their foot on the housing ladder.

The Chapel Hill plans designed to complement the character of Longridge. The site benefits from being close to public transport links, as well as local shops and services. The plans also provide an opportunity to deliver benefits for the wider community, as new homes will bring more trade for local shops and businesses, and could also act as a catalyst for further investment in the area.

The scheme is sensitively designed to be in keeping with existing properties in the village, and extensive landscaping is proposed throughout the development, as well as new publicly accessible green, open space.

The site is occupied by a series of two storey structures located on the corner of China Lane and Wilderspool Causeway. The buildings are bounded to the south and east by the Former G & J Greenall Distillery site (to be re-developed into a residential estate), to the west by Wilderspool Causeway and to the north by China Lane and the Saracens Head public house.

Directly opposite the site on the other side of Wilderspool Causeway is the former Greenall's Brewery site, recently completed for residential and commercial use. The buildings together with the larger Greenall's Brewery site form the Greenall's Brewery Conservation Area and designated a conservation area in 2001.

The proposed development involves the demolition of the modern office structures, the conversion of the existing listed building into 5 No. dwellings and the construction of 9 No. mews houses as well as the formation of a new parking court and landscaped communal and private amenity spaces.

MCK commissioned to create a layout which achieved 49 proposed dwellings on land adjacent to Dilworth lane, Longridge.

The Farington Lodge development is a unique site located adjacent to Farington Lodge The lodge and the recent new development on the corner of Stanifield Lane and Centurion Way set the scene for the proposed development.

The proposal is in two parts, part one is the construction of 11no. bespoke detached houses overlooking the existing Public Open Space, with access obtained from Stanifield Lane. Part two is a development of family houses offering
a variety of accommodation, with access from Centurion Way.

The site extends approximately 3.2ha and located about 1km North of Leyland town centre close to the junction of Stanifield Lane and Centurion Way.

It is an L shaped site wrapping around the Westerly and Southerly boundaries of Farington Lodge Hotel.
Other than the hotel and its grounds, the site is bounded by Centurion Way to the North and Stanifield Lane to the East, both providing primary access to the site.

The orientation and location of the site on an East-West axis, along with being situated along side the parkland, offer openness and beneficial views creating an ideal and desirable setting.

The fundamental design concept has been to create a very high quality development of large family and executive housing in a parkland setting. The existing characteristics and features of the locality comprising of open recreation spaces, woodland and the grade II listed buildings of the hotel and gate house have been used to inspire a spacious layout placing the dwellings within a parkland setting.

This proposed scheme involves the construction of two blocks of 5 storey student residences. The site is a difficult and constrained site bounded by the main west coast railway line and the busy Fylde road.

The scheme maximises the use of the site with an innovative design incorporating traditional and modern materials. The scheme required a sensitive design to avoid detracting from the Grade 1 listed St. Walburges church.

The scheme passed for planning permission.

Technical support for comprehensive construction packages for a large site comprising apartment blocks and core house types – only a very small sample of prepared information illustrated here.

MCK was approached with a scheme that had previously been granted outline approval for 25 dwellings.

During discussions with the developer it became apparent that the layout made inefficient use of the available land. Working with the Developer and Katie Delaney of NJL, MCK helped secure a planning approval for 41 dwellings.

This provided a significant increase in the overall number of dwelling from the original 25 approved at outline.

Not only did this help increase our clients margins, but also increased the number of affordable housing units being made available to the local community.

WAINHOMES - GRANGE OVER SANDS, 

Controversial Residential Development in Grange over Sands, eventually won at appeal. 

Small but beautiful semi-rural residential development on the outskirts of Blackburn for Conlon Construction.

A new six storey apartment building located on the seafront at Morecambe.

The building is of timber frame construction and steps back as the building rises. The materials are traditional, utilising brickwork predominantly and white rainscreen cladding to the uppermost floor. Te design and orientation of the apartments allowed for the maximum number of units to have views of the sea.

The top floor houses penthouse apartments with large glazed walls giving extensive views over Morecambe Bay.

The main feature of the building is the butterfly roof structure and angular bays that give a striking look to the building.

Shaw Street, Liverpool. The site is on the North side of the junction and fronts both Shaw Street and College Road North. It is in an elevated position bounded to the North and East by the historic Whitley Gardens.

The site contains an unoccupied single storey building, which formerly accommodated the Sarah McArd Day Nursery.

The new design proposed is one of a simple strong rectangular form. The elevational treatment is layered with features that combine and are composed to give a strong balance and elegance to the facades with a grand entrance foyer. This design addresses the issues of quality, reduced pallet of materials, clarity of design and elevational composition. The side and rear elevations are now designed to the same level and importance as the Shaw Street elevation and the design takes full advantage of its setting and the views from the site. Whilst the building is fundamentally not symmetrical the building has been carefully ordered with all elements and materials sensitively composed to provide a high level of respectful modernity but using traditional materials that are both sympathetic and sustainable.

The building is rectangular in form set on the frontline of both the existing building and the former church. The front of the site will be a sloping landscaped garden containing the reinstated semi-circular drive.

Apartments are located on the first to fifth floors. Access to the apartments is via a glazed stairway and lift in the courtyard to the rear of the entrance foyer. At each floor level there are open balconies overlooking the courtyard and giving access to the apartments. At First Floor there are 13 apartments, 11 two bedroomed and 2 one-bedroomed. Above on the second to fifth floors there are 14 apartments per floor with 12 two-bedroomed and 2 one-bedroomed. Feature apartments, with increased bays to the living areas or main bedroom, are on each corner of the building providing enhanced views over the City in all directions.

Small residential development with bespoke housetypes.

Large scale masterplanning project in Royston.

On land at Lightfoot Lane HSL promoted a dual strategy in order to bring the site forward for residential development.

The land was promoted through the emerging Central Lancashire Core Strategy and Development Plan Documents together with submitting an outline planning application to Preston City Council. In the adopted Preston Local Plan the land was protected from development by an open space policy designation, however, on the back of our robust planning case Preston City Council put the site forward as a proposed housing allocation in their draft site allocations consultation and in October 2011 HSL achieved an outline planning consent for up to 70 dwellings.

From initial site identification HSL had a clear planning strategy for developing this Greenfield site, which is located in a highly sustainable location and was identified as an area the Council were endorsing as a general location for future growth early on in the Local Plan process. The housing scheme was approved at Planning Committee despite significant local objection.

The planning application is the first major housing approval to be granted in Preston for some considerable time. A reserved matters application is being prepared for submission in Spring 2012
