450 : VICAR’S UPDATE : PROJECT 450 : VICAR’S UPDATE :
ON WEDNESDAY 26TH JUNE
I met with Project 450 Lead
Architect, Dan Talkes, officially
to commence the next phase of
work on the church’s development
project. The meeting was positive,
businesslike and, frankly, quite
exciting. Exciting because, during
our discussion, it became very
clear that we’ve reached a very
significant point in the life of the
Project. In fact, following a relatively
quiet few months, it’s fair
to say that Project 450 is about to
start moving ahead very quickly!
As has previously been reported,
between now and February 2020
Purcell will move the project
towards a fully realised set of
designs, that will have been worked
out in detail and extensively
consulted on with the various
groups of statutory stakeholders
who will be involved in planning
decisions relating to our proposals.
What’s particularly exciting is that,
during this process we will begin
to see detailed visual representations
of the various elements of the
architectural design work. Early
on in this process we will have an
updated model. Then, through RIBA
Level 2, which is due to commence
at the end of July, we’ll start to see
more detailed plans, elevations and
sections of the emerging designs.
Following this, during RIBA Level 3,
work on which is due to start
towards the end of September, we
will start to see fully-rendered 3D
visualisations of the new buildings.
All of this work will form the basis
for a series of consultations with
the church community in July,
September, November and, finally,
February as we work towards a final
design that we can all be proud of.
So this is just to say, thanks for your
patience during the recent quiet
patch, and be prepared for lots of
progress, updates and opportunities
to have your say between now
and the February. It’s going to be an
exciting six months!
