Project 450 Design Team visit - Monday 8 July
Earlier this week, Rev Dan Tyndall and the project team at St Mary Redcliffe met with members of the Project 450 Design Team to commence the next stage of planning work.
This phase will take place between now and February 2010 and will see the creation of a developed design scheme for the church’s new facilities, culminating in a planning application next year.
The Design Team consists of a range of professionals who will have responsibility for looking at various aspects of the design. Organisations represented at the meeting included:
Purcell - architectural design and project lead
Integral - structural engineering
QODA - mechanical, electrical and plumbing services
Gleeds - quantity surveying
LUC - landscape design and ecology consultancy
Following Monday’s meeting, Purcell will begin working on a Project 450 masterplan and a developed design, consulting with the other organisations on aspects of the project that require specialist expertise that falls outside of Purcell’s area of expertise.
During the next six months we will see new visuals, models and 3D images revealing what the proposed scheme will look like. This will then be consulted on widely, both with statutory organisations such as Historic England and the Church Buildings Council, and the various groups of church users, including members of the congregation, visitors and members of the wider community.
