Hazel Trees Phase 2

Hazel Trees is a combined services centre dedicated to supporting children, young people and young adults who have disabilities or additional needs together with their families. Social care, health (NHS) and education services are co-located within the building with the aim of improving the assessment and diagnosis process and also reducing the number of visits families have historically had to make to various facilities. Hazel Trees has been in operation since Phase 1 works were completed approximately two years ago (conversion from a former special school). Phase 1 works created a functional, yet partly completed building and the aim is now to complete the building works (Phase 2) and to fully implement the service vision where families with children and young adults with disabilities and additional needs can go to get the best help and support they need.

Phase 2 works include:

Option 1 is a two-storey structure which would add the required storage and meeting room capacity. This is the clients preferred option to meet the service needs (subject to affordability).

Option 2 is a single storey structure with reduced capacity of storage and meeting room space. This is a minimum workable solution which will be considered if Option 1 is unaffordable. Submissions must be completed for BOTH options. The estimated budget range is £1m - £1.5m
