St Mary Redcliffe Project 450 RIBA 2 Stage End Report

9.0 NEXT STEPS
Recording the development of a considered and coordinated concept design, this report and
its findings will be presented to the P450 Project Board on 10 Feb 2020. Subject to approval,
it is proposed to then progress to RIBA 3 to undertake the detailed design development and
preparation of the comprehensive documentation necessary for the Consents applications
To de-risk this process, and with due regard to the feedback received from stakeholders, the
following next steps are proposed:
5. FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS
Finally, prior to all of the above, to provide an opportunity to consult on the outcomes, and avoid
potentially abortive work during RIBA 3, the design team will, as a first priority, undertake the
options studies cited in Section 4.8
1. FORMAL PRE-APPLICATION ENQUIRY
Subject to the approval of both the Canynges Society and the Church Lands Charity, utilise the
existing contact with Dr Roger Leech to initiate a bespoke, formal pre-app process to engage
both BCC’s planning department and the Conservation Advisory Group and invite written
feedback on the current proposals, areas of further development, and any factors affecting
Consents / Approval

2. PUBLIC & STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION
Alongside item 1, continue the pattern of regular, open engagement to ensure continued project
support and an increased sense of ownership within P450’s stakeholders, community and
congregation
3. ADDITIONAL SURVEYS / INVESTIGATIONS
As noted within section 7.0, throughout RIBA 2, the design team has conducted a review of the
available survey information. Given the current level of scheme design, targeted investigations
of key areas of unresolved risk are now possible, and it is therefore recommended that, at the
commencement of RIBA 3, the design team scopes and competitively tenders these surveys to
obtain accurate costs for client consideration
4. EXPERIENTIAL WALK-THROUGH
The current proposals are undoubtedly complex and many consultees, both stakeholder and
public, have expressed difficulty in visualising particularly the proposed internal spaces. For this
reason, the design team intend to produce a three-dimensional, digital walk-through model that
can be presented either as a video or, ideally, as a self-directed ‘virtual’ experience
The existing architectural fee includes an allocation for visualisations, so Purcell will seek specialist
advice on what might be achieved for this sum
