Proposal

Existing brick building is deemed unfit for purpose as a youth centre and it is proposed to be demolished and a new two-storey youth centre building to be built in its place that is fully-accessible, energy-efficient, spacious and future-proof. The existing steel-framed barn in the north of the site will be retained and given a update to the cladding to improve its usability as an external activity hall.
