This project provides a replacement Community Centre, Library, Parish Office and Doctors' Surgery. There is a significant fall across this very tight site as well as poor ground conditions which created a challenge in planning this facility. A public car park on the site also had to remain operational during the Construction. The Community Centre has three halls on two floor levels with its entrance shared with the Parish Office and library off a main plaza. The Surgery is set at the higher level of the site with its own two storey entrance with lift off the shared plaza. The project achieves a BREEAM Excellent rating and incorporates a ground source heat pump, PV panels, rainwater harvesting and a green roof.
