Our organisation has been given land in the DN31 area of Grimsby with the stipulation that it is to be used for community and social purposes. Our aim to design and develop a large scale project on the land which will incorporate several new community buildings supporting new activities / learning facilities and exhibition / visitor areas throughout the site.
GHoPA works very closely with young people and we want the new facilities to meet the needs of young people from all parts of the community. This survey will help us to design the centre so that it does that.
We want the project to be really green and will build in renewable / alternative energy in building design, operating and construction processes. We wish to identify, plan and incorporate alternative sources of energy throughout the whole of the site including the use of solar, wind, geothermal and biomass.
We would like to provide specialist intensive support to many more the most vulnerable and disadvantaged young people and their families in the N E Lincolnshire region.
Large areas of the site will feature natural and to be designed wildlife habitats with a number of family based leisure facilities. A visitor center will be part of our vision which will be designed to provide specialist learning support. The center will feature a cafe / restaurant servicing our visitors with food grown on the site and which would also provide training and work placements.
What we need now is your ideas about what the project should provide and if you are interested in getting involved or just being kept aware of how things are going some details so that we can contact you.
Thanks for your help!
