Building Partnerships provided development expertise to Breckland Council, the freeholders, on the development potential of the site and coordinated the consultant team on producing an initial scheme design followed by due diligence work required as a precursor to submission of a planning application on the site. This process included site survey work, ecology studies, flood risk assessment and archaeological investigations to identify the site constraints as well as scheme design and appraisal work to ensure the development proposals brought forward were deliverable. Through this process liaison and consultation took place with the potential partners in the project. These included Easton College and West Suffolk College along with the Town Council, commercial catering operators and Norfolk County Council. The current intention is to provide 70,000 sq ft of new space in a forum style building for predominantly educational use but also potentially incorporating a new community facility along with catering space for use by the students and the general public. Extensive external ‘public realm’ improvements are also proposed to ensure the site provides an appropriate space in the Town Centre. The site is included within the comprehensive Thetford Academy proposals in conjunction with the two senior schools in the Town. < back to Projects home page     home | team | projects | what we do | news | contact | site by CG Design Printer Friendly Version PRINT PAGE   © 2009 Building Partnerships Ltd, Queen's House, Queen's Road, Norwich, Norfolk, NR1 3PL.
