We are proud to have been involved with Park Life in their quest to improve community facilities within Heavitree Pleasure Grounds. Overwhelmingly positive support from the local residents and wider users of the park, and positive responses from Exeter City Council and the Planning office, have after several years gestation enabled Park Life to develop the proposals towards firm construction proposals. The local community has been consulted and involved through all stages to develop a brief for the building which will suit a wide range of needs. The community cafe provides an every-day meeting place and forms the hub of the activity. In addition a multi-purpose hall is available for hire to local groups, activities, individuals and businesses for meetings, classes, talks, parties, etc. The building is located to be visible from the main entrance to the park and respond to the focus of activities in this area, particularly as families use the pools and play areas heavily in the summer. It is a simply structured and carefully designed building demonstrating a sustainable approach to building not just a space but a community; it supports the wide range of social and support activities that Park Life are developing. We are pleased to be able to include here early design sketches that formed part of early public consultation before being further developed towards a Planning Application in the summer of 2017; alongside photos after completion.
