The site is centrally located, directly opposite the new primary school and Doctors Surgery and is close to the library. Currently, the Parish Council is looking for Tenders to develop and manage RIBA Stages 3 to 6 for the new community centre, working closely with the Parish Council. Location: To the west of Plantation Road, Blofield, NR13 4RH. SITE DESCRIPTION: The site includes the old school playing field, a standalone classroom, a hard play area and playground, and a small car park. It is bordered by the A47 to the north, Plantation Road to the east, the old school to the south, and residential bungalows to the west. PLANNING PERMISSION - 2023/3727: Full planning approval has been obtained for the change of use, new highway access, car park, and playground. Outline planning permission was approved for the community centre. The Parish Council aims to submit a full planning permission application for the community building late 2025. DETAILS: The Parish Council is acquiring part of the old school site through a land swap with Norfolk County Council. The site will remain a community asset for social interaction, play and access to open green space. It is intended to build the hall using energy efficient materials, and local companies where possible to reduce carbon emissions. DESIGN & FACILITIES: Architects have worked on and supported the Parish Council with the Planning Application (2023/3727) and district council funding was provided for work on RIBA Stage 2. For more details on what is included in the concept design, please see attached document: 'GOV.UK - Blofield Park - RIBA Stages 3-6 Tender Summary - 02.06.2025' Total Project Cost is £1.4M. Currently, the Parish Council is working to this sum which must include all build costs, the renovation cost of the existing standalone classroom, all consultancy fees, planning costs, and 15% contingency. It also includes carparking for 39 cars but does not include all the carparking spaces (57) for which there is planning permission. It does not currently include a fully furnished 'commercial' kitchen.
