The Clergy House and Cathedral Hall lie to the immediate north of Bradford Cathedral, at a key city gateway.  Calls Architecture have undertaken a review of development options for the site, together with a condition survey and schedule of repairs for Heritage Works Building Preservation Trust.

The Clergy House is a Grade II listed townhouse dating from the late 18th century, remodeled in part during the 20th century.  The building is at risk and several options for reuse have been identified, including reinstatement as a residential building.  The Cathedral Hall was built in the 1920s, and subdivided for office use in the 1980s.  To the north of the 2 buildings is a vacant site, with potential for enabling development.

Initial design concepts for the enabling development take reference from the historic pattern of Barkerend Road, and the stone terrace that lined the street in the Victorian period.  This terrace of cottages once adjoined the corner of the Clergy House, and our initial design studies suggest a contemporary residential development to redefine the street edge in the spirit of the terrace that once occupied the site.
