Phase 2
A significant amount of the building is not suitable for immediate income generation. The Trust has developed a provisional plan for the development of these areas, which is based on the consultation process to date and intends to maximise community benefit, as well as increase income generation. This plan is to form the basis of the next phase of community consultation, which will determine the proposals ultimately implemented. The heart of Phase 2 will be a flexible play centre.The main areas for further development are specified in Table 11, along with their respective proposed uses. Appendix has a more detailed draft business plan for the large play centre.Table 12: Building Development Proposals
Ongoing engagement.
Phase 1’s proposals have developed from the original groundswell of feeling from the community, through the campaign group, and into the Trust’s formation of this plan.
Its grass-roots origins have allowed an open dialogue to prevail. As the local community uses the facilities during Phase 1 they will be able to engage with the space and imagine potential uses for the remainder of the building. The Trust is committed to meaningful ongoing engagement for Phase 2 of the Hub’s development.
Feasibility Studies
The necessary Phase 2 alterations to the building will require more detailed appraisal and feasibility studies that can credibly be produced in the time available to date. The Trust proposes that in compliance with best practice for community-generated projects, the on-going process of community engagement is allowed to run for the standard duration of one year. This will allow the many interested user groups and organizations to develop proposals for further development and for these proposals to be fully tested against statutory constraints and business planning.
The proposed program of on-going engagement will involve implementation of the latest best practice for community projects, incorporating the recommendations of DTAS and with specialist advice on progressive techniques.
