Community Plant Nursery Buildings

The nursery site currently has mains electricity and mains water but has no access to local sewerage. We will be looking for a bid which offers a full turnkey solution, bringing services to the two new buildings from existing supplies.

As part of the tender bid, we will need an adequate sewerage solution installed such a septic tank connected to both buildings.

Building design

The building will be sited looking out to our heritage orchard and vegetable garden, because of the beauty of the site we would expect the successful bid to have large opening doors out onto our patio, so that groups can easily move between the indoor and outdoor space. The building should be light and airy.

The classroom building will need two toilets one of which must be a DDA toilet. It must also have a small area for coffee and tea to be made for our hirers.

The building must not exceed 200m3 or exceed 4m so that it can be built under permitted development, no planning permission will be required.

There is a large Alder tree based near the building and marked on the site plan. Damage and effects on the tree must be considered with the planning of works.

We have supplied a basic plan for the building; however, we are happy for slight changes to the dimensions or layout so long is it is in keeping with our vision.

Building 2 - Kitchen and public toilets

Building 2 should aim to enhance the experience our visitors have when they visit the nursery. We envision the kitchen serving takeaway food and drink for the public to enjoy when visiting the site. There should be a hatch for serving customers through, and a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, oven and fridge freezer.

The two toilets should be accessible from outside one of which should be a DDA toilet.

Godmanchester Town Council is looking to purchase a 'turn key' solution design and install building package for our Plant Nursery site.
