Background
Chesterton has suffered from a lack of investment in recent years. There are a number of empty properties, local shops are struggling to survive and many of Chesterton's pre-1919 terraced properties are in need of refurbishment.
Towns and cities across the UK struggle to find ways to refurbish older terraced properties in a sustainable manner. In Chesterton, six typical 19th and early 20th century houses have been transformed to meet today's housing standards. They provide a good template for future refurbishment programmes.
RENEW North Staffordshire worked with several partners on this ambitious, award-winning project. These include Staffordshire Housing Association, Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, Axis Design Architects and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA).
