Photographs and Plans

----------------------------------------

Please refer to www.abbotslangley-pc.gov.uk/primrose-hill-changi… ↗ to see location and photographs of the external view of the previous building which has now been demolished. Concept designs and plans can also be seen here.

The Council seeks to replace the building with something of a similar look, feel and footprint. The Council would like the interior of the building to contain:

• a small kitchen with countertops, cabinets, and space for sink, oven, fridge, microwave;
• a single DDA compliant toilet, internal door access only
• main hall for gatherings
• convertible storage space off main hall for storage of tables and chairs when not in use, but useable as part of main hall when table and chairs are in use;
• cleaning materials storage space
• energy efficient solutions for lighting and heating

The Council would like the exterior of the building to comprise:

• single storey structure
• re-align orientation of building to align with car park
• hatchway from kitchen (to allow for kitchen to be hired on it's own for vendors to sell teas and coffees to park users) with a small patio area in front of the hatchway
• two DDA compliant entrances / exits, one facing play area and one facing playing field.
• roller shutters to protect doors and windows

The Council would like the car park to comprise:

• permeable surface to allow water to drain naturally
• timer based solar powered lampposts
• line markings for parking, including 2 disabled parking spaces

The Council is willing to consider:

• changing some or all of the windows sizes from the previous design to allow for more light;
• solar panels, air source heat pumps, and living roof options to help sustainability
• a longer footprint than the previous building to allow for more space inside the main hall

Although no one-to-one meetings will be offered at this stage, suppliers are free to visit the site at their leisure as it is a public playing field.
