Masters House

Masters House is a former council office located just off the high street in Sheerness. The main building has recently been refurbished to create new office space.

Charity, Launch It, who work with young adults (ages 18 - 30) to support the start up of new business ventures , has taken over the lease and are supporting young residents within Swale.

Proposed

Following works to the main building, phase 2 work will convert disused garage space to the rear of Masters House into usable workshop spaces.

Additional works will further improve the energy efficiency of Masters House, including the installation of solar panels to the roof of the main building.

Progress

Appointment of a project manager, quantity surveyor, employers agent, architect, principal designer and BREEAM consultant for the phase 2 works has taken place. Consultation with Launch It has taken place regarding current designs produced and shared with the design team for amendments. The planning application has now been submitted to the local planning team.

The planning application is due to be determined by the council's planning committee on Thursday, 12 September.
