Corsham Council Workshop
Corsham Town Council wishes to appoint an experienced architectural practice to undertake feasibility work for the refurbishment and expansion of it's grounds team's workshop in the town centre.
The work will involve initial development/feasibility work (RIBA Stages 0-2) to improve the Council's grounds team facilities in Corsham town centre. The Town Council wants to refurbish and improve the grounds team's workshop, expand and improve the works yard, construct new storage facilities in the yard and provide new welfare facilities and office space at the rear of Arnold House, Corsham.
Arnold House is a Grade 2 listed building and both the Guide Hut and Arnold House are in a conservation area – so any redevelopment will need to be sensitive to the location and meet the requirements of Wiltshire Council’s planning department/conservation officer. The site is also limited in space. However, there may be scope to move the Arnold House/Guide Hut yard boundary to gain extra yard space. As such, the Town Council is keen to employ an architectural practice with experience of working with listed buildings and in conservation areas to see if it would be a feasible/suitable project to pursue.
