DLBP has secured a rather unique consent to install a bomb display associated with the redevelopment of the Soane Stable Block, at the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
The Royal Hospital Chelsea is currently undertaking works to refurbish the grade II listed Soane Stable Block and create a new museum and exhibition centre which will be accessible to the public, for which DLBP secured permission previously.
To improve the visitor experience, the Royal Hospital sought the assistance of DLBP to secure planning permission to install a below-ground exhibition space for the display of a replica World War II bomb that commemorates an attack on former Soane Infirmary, which is now the site of the National Army Museum.
DLBP liaised closely with Peregrine Bryant Architects and Image Makers to prepare a proposal that would be improve the visitor experience, whilst protecting the heritage value of the site and surrounding area.
DLBP also engaged with the National Army Museum prior to and following submission of the application to ensure the display was acceptable from its perspective, as well.
DLBP is delighted to continue supporting the Royal Hospital Chelsea in facilitating this new, exciting development and its wider charitable objectives.
