Stratford-Upon-Avon’s Architecture

In one of the most popular and historic tourist destinations in Warwickshire, the focus has to be on the Tudor architecture that is still prominent in Stratford-Upon-Avon to this day. Notable locations include Anne Hathaway’s cottage and William Shakespeare’s birthplace.

Both houses are fine examples of the half-timber design of the era.

The original rebuild of the theatre was performed in 1932 following a fire in the old theatre in 1926. This rebuild was notable as it was the first major British building to be designed by a woman, Elisabeth Scott.

The Scott design had many Art Deco features including the staircase and corridors on either side of the auditorium.

The 2010 redevelopment saw the theatre receive a modern facelift. A notable change was made to the auditorium. The audience was brought much closer to the stage in a move that has been warmly received by actors and theatre-goers alike.

Simple Planning..Simply Stunning!!Excellent Service!! Michelle has been amazing. She is an... experienced planning officer who is able to provide a wealth of knowledge and information. Thanks to her advice and her application support document, we have recently had our application approved which we are over the moon about. Michelle has helped at every stage and has worked with the surveyors, architect and most recently negotiated with the planning officer during the application to ensure approval. Her fees are very reasonable and she is so easy to talk to and deal with. Very few of us who are not in the industry have the knowledge to support these complex applications to give them the best chance of success and I think this possibly the best money I have ever spent for her help with this project. I can't recommend Simply Planning enough. Well deserved 5 stars!!read more

Michelle responded quickly to mine and my husband’s initial inquiry and offered a free high level... assessment of the proposal. She came back the next day and we really appreciated her view and honesty over the unlikelihood of achieving what we wanted. She was clear and explained her thoughts. She could have dragged out the process or said she needed to perform a costly assessment but she didn’t. We hugely valued this. Would definitely recommend.read more
