Design and Planning Services for a Replacement or Refurbished Village Hall

Barrington Parish Council (BPC) wishes to replace or refurbish the village hall. The village hall and the land upon which it sits is held in Trust for the village by the Village Hall Trustee (VHT). The building is in poor condition and s106 funds have been allocated for its refurbishment or replacement. It is not a listed building but is a significant feature and located in a prominent position overlooking the Village Green and within the Conservation Area. It is accessed via a permitted accessway across the Village Green under licence from the Green Charity. Following a detailed options study, BPC now wishes to drive forward with plans for the Village Hall and requires a company that can: • Provide the necessary plans and documentation to support a planning application. • Provide the necessary drawings and documentation to support tenders for construction works. • Post-planning to provide building control plans (if required) • Act as project manager for the construction project • Act as the designated CDM Refurbish The principle of retaining an existing building wherever possible to avoid wasting carbon and resources points to refurbishment as the starting point for Stage 2 Concept Design. However, as the scheme is developed through Stage 2, the size of the original Hall, its proportion, construction and location on the site may limit flexibility in the emerging design and this needs to be considered. The original Hall, with refurbished, insulated roof and new rooflights could sit at the heart of a highly insulated new building that could entirely envelop the old Hall, improving its environmental performance and creating welcoming and service space around it as well as extending its length with a secondary smaller hall to the rear. A Structural Report from the Structural Engineer Price & Myers indicates that the existing timber trusses in the Hall can be refurbished with tie rods at a higher level. Rebuild Alternatively, given the constraints of the Village Hall site, a new building is likely to be laid out with the two Halls at the heart of a building surrounded by circulation and service space. However, the freedom to change the proportion of the main Hall and its relationship to other parts of the building such as the smaller hall, may ultimately allow the design to be more flexible. Accommodation Needs The spatial requirements have been assessed following consultation with users. The total area was fixed at 650sqm in order to compare site layouts but including: - Large hall: a flexible multi-purpose space. - Small hall: a flexible multi-purpose space. - Hospitality: a cafe space served by a kitchen and bar is a new space desired for the Village Hall, locating it at the front of the site enables it to double as a foyer zone for the arrival of large groups to attend performances. It also creates an active and welcoming front for the building, addressing the village green. The cafe area could function as the bar for events. - Meeting Room: this is a new space for smaller meetings doubling as a room for curation or access to the Barrington History Society archive. The store for the archive should be accessible from the room or nearby. Some of the material could be on permanent display in the building. - Community kitchen: if the Cafe is run commercially or has a double function as a bar with a license, it may be necessary to also have a small community kitchen that can be used by community groups including children, such as scouts. Duxford community centre is a precedent for this. - SCDC Guidance on the use of s106 public funds is clear that no space should be for the exclusive use of any single group - thus for example a "sports and social club with bar" as a separate membership and entity would not be allowed. - Early Years: however, Barrington does need pre-school `provision for children up to 5, particularly since the village is expanding with significant numbers of family housing. The size of the Early Years facility was fixed at 120sqm to reflect the level of funding contribution from SCDC, this is sufficient for a simple one room Early Years facility which should be an independent area of the building, with a clear security line between public and pre-school use and a direct entrance from the outside with drop off and pick up arrangements for buggies. This should enable delivery of the DfE's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework and would be inspected by Ofsted. The classroom would ideally connect directly to its own outside play space and of course co-location with the village hall would bring potential customers to a Cafe. - Access and Parking requirements will need to be confirmed, and a transport assessment undertaken to provide a baseline count of existing cars at different times of the day and week, to include. - Parking and EV Charging - Disabled parking - Bicycle parking - Refuse and recycling storage Budget Constraints The finite amount of funds available means that the work on the village hall needs to be completed within very strict budgetary constraints. For the provision of architectural, surveying, planning, design and project management services a maximum budget of £160,000 is available. Contract Period The Services tender request includes whole life project management. The intended contract start and end dates - from the design to handover and sign off of the whole project - are Start date 1.9.25 End date 31.8.27.

William Blake Windows and Redecorations – Design Team

City of London Corporation wish to procure a multi-disciplinary design team to undertake principal designer duties, deliver the pre-planning and full planning applications, produce specifications and cost plans ready to tender for the works and undertake contract administration duties for the Window Replacement and Associated Works project at William Blake Estate. The successful consultant is to survey the existing windows and external doors (where located within window sets) to determine how the existing windows are to be removed and replaced with new, efficient contemporary windows which will achieve Listed Building Consent. In conjunction with the window replacements particular consideration is essential to ensure that adequate ventilation is incorporated within the design proposals. Each block has its own set of windows in various fenestrations which consist mainly of timber framed single glazed sliding sash windows. The consultant will be expected to review previously approved planning applications and undertake any additional surveys for each block and window type before submitting new pre-planning applications (including summary of options) and then subsequently using the advice to submit full planning application. During the planning process, the consultant is expected to review previous planning submissions and responses and build the new specifications ready to tender either via a compliant open tender process or via a nominated framework. Subject to full planning permissions, the consultant will submit a specification to accompany City of London tender documents. The requirements for the new windows are to protect the building from external conditions, provide privacy and security, improve the acoustic performance, provide thermal insulation, aid in the external fabric’s resistance to spread of fire, provide access to daylight, provide controllable ventilation, resist wind loadings, and provide protection from falling and impact. The Corporation also intends to incorporate various associated works into this window replacement package, in order to maximise efficiencies and ensure that its landlord responsibilities are fully met. Although the window replacement element will undoubtedly be a key component of the works, a holistic approach is considered most appropriate at this stage, in respect of the blocks’ external envelope.
