Plans for the refurbished Village Hall
Essentially we are going to preserve the existing building but bring it up to date thoroughly, with a new floor, a proper heating system, good insulation, new electrics and a general refurbishment of the windows and redecoration. Before the main hall is tackled, however, we plan to knock down the existing flat roofed building at the rear and replace it with a bigger, more stylish building that will become our second hall. This will allow us to provide a new larger kitchen, located centrally with serving access to both halls, together with new toilets with disabled facilities, again to be accessed from both halls. There will be a single main entrance to the halls, relocated in central position on the playing field side. This will be covered by the roof of the new hall which will also cover a new veranda facing the field. Much more storage space will be provided plus a boiler/pump room to service both halls. Currently we are looking at the best type of heating system for the hall but are keen to be as ‘eco friendly’ as possible. We envisage that the new, smaller hall will be a very attractive venue for many types of function, in particular for parties, clubs and play groups, youth activities and committee meetings, while the old hall will be a far more attractive venue for larger events and some indoor sports activities (carpet bowls, table tennis etc). The plans were received positively at an initial meeting with South Cambridgeshire planners and we are keen to submit a formal planning application in the next month or so. [Added Sept 08]: subsequent to this meeting, some suggestions were made which are reflected in the updated plans below. If you have any comments or suggestions or would like further information, please contact Councillor Lee Ginger on 207688 or email . Below are small images of the plans we have so far.

Here are the revised plans for the extension and refurbishment of our Village Hall. The project is in two phases which we plan to run one immediately after the other.
