As you might expect, there’s a lot of detail involved in planning a scheme on this scale – and our team are working hard to move it forward. Below are a few of the project’s key milestones – to help you keep track of our progress.
- Select an architectural team – Autumn/Winter 2009
- We’re required by European law to follow a set process for this
- Secure planning permission – Early 2010
- We’ll be working closely with the Council’s planning officers to make sure everything goes smoothly
- Finalise our funding bids – Spring 2010
- A project on this scale depends on a complex package of funding from several sources
- Demolish the old building – Spring 2010
- We will contract for this work as soon as we get planning permission
- Construction work begins – Summer 2010
- This involves following a complex legal process as well as site surveys and preparation work before building can start
- Open the building – Scheduled for late 2011
- We’re working hard to provide a fantastic new resource for our community. The final opening date will depend on a number of factors, including site conditions and weather during construction.
