Neil Choudhury Architects seeks consent for new buildings and conversion

Neil Choudhury Architects has submitted plans to turn disused farm outbuildings in the East Sussex countryside into a toy museum and puppet theatre.

The scheme will rehabilitate and extend the existing buildings while also inserting two new subservient barns of the same typology and orientation.

Choudhury’s practice was appointed by the Children’s Arts and Education Foundation whose founder, John Bright, an Oscar-winning costume designer and costumier, has spent 50 years collecting puppets, dolls’ houses, miniature theatres, porcelain, children’s props and farm toys.
