Flag Staff Green Wins Regeneration Award

Published on 22 May 2008

Flag Staff Green, Royal Clarence Yard has been awarded Runner up in the Regeneration category at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) South East Awards 2008.

Flag Staff Green's conversion from a gatehouse and police inspector's lodge into residential accommodation is part of the wider regeneration of Royal Clarence Yard, a former navy victualling yard containing a large number of scheduled monuments and listed buildings that have been adapted by a conservation team at John Thompson & Partners.

Judge, Terry Adsett FRICS said, "The scheme has undoubtedly contributed to the regeneration of the surrounding area. The former Naval property for years had no real connection to the adjacent town, save that it was obviously a major employer.....I believe that as more of the scheme is built out, the Green, in particular will contribute greatly to reminding people of the area's historical significance and importance.Â Royal Clarence Yard, as a completed scheme, will hopefully get the recognition for the regeneration it delivers ..."
