Photographs and Plans
----------------------------------------
Please refer to https://www.abbotslangley-pc.gov.uk/primrose-hill-changing-rooms/ to see location and photographs of the external view of the previous building which has now been demolished.
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.
