Bungay New Community Centre Planning Permission approved

Planning consent was recently granted for a £2 million Community Enterprise Building in Bungay. Following a detailed design and business viability study undertaken in conjunction with Coin Street Community Builders, proposals were submitted to Waveney District Council in August 2011. The new centre will replace the town’s existing community hall which is in very poor condition.

SCDC Quality of Place Awards

Simon Smeaton of OWL Architects was asked to be a judge for the QP Awards for a second year running and presented a prize under the design category to Hoo House in Woodbridge. Last year the Dovecote at Snape Maltings was awarded a similar accolade.

The Company Yacht

The company yacht enjoyed another season's successful sailing. High points included a tense but exhilarating outing with Mike Foley of the Energy Practice in winds gusting to Force 7, sufficient to rip out recently installed reefing points!

Lavenham School

OWL recently commenced work on their third education project for Suffolk County Council under its Property Consultancy Framework in conjunction with JSH and J P Chick consulting engineers. The project is for a new nursery block addition to a Victorian school that retains much of its original character.
