The Brewerstreet Dairy unit is now completed. Our proposals were to refurbish an existing industrial shed into a new specialist veterinary unit, linked to an adjacent office building.
Brewerstreet starts on site
16.04.08
Brewerstreet starts on site with an anticipated completion of November 2008. Our clients have identified this building and the adjacent office as being suitable to serve as a new centre for their specialist veterinary surgery. The business currently shares space with a GP veterinary service at the Village Animal Hospital, Guards Avenue, Coulsdon Road, Caterham, Surrey CR3 5ZD.
The specialist service has proved so successful that the current space is proving restrictive for the practice’s development and expansion.
However, whilst the existing industrial unit is unlikely to present a public face, the veterinary service requires members of the public and their cats and dogs to visit the unit. Therefore, as part of the proposed change of use we are proposing amendments to the existing façade to reflect the nature of the business inside.
Mint House, Wallington
19.03.08
Tuke Manton Architects have been appointed by E R Armfield to develop the working drawing package following their successful Design and Build Tender for the first phase of the Shotfield clinic re-development.
Mint House occupies a central location in the town of Wallington in Surrey. Mint House will be extended at the side and at roof level to create space for the decanting of medical facilities which fully comply with the Department of Health’s Primary & Social Care Premises Planning and Design Guidelines. Following completion the demolition of the Shotfield Centre will commence and the construction of a new clinic will get underway. The new facility will be in use for 2 years during the construction of the new clinic.
The existing second floor is to be refurbished with a new third and fourth floors added. A new extension creates a dedicated entrance in to the temporary clinic. The weight on the existing foundations has been considered carefully and all the new construction is as light weight as possible. The new facility provides GP consulting rooms, support spaces and treatment rooms.
Wood Lane, Chippenham

There is to be twenty four hour staff cover on the project. There are also six move-on flats for the tenants to move on to and receive a lower level of housing support before moving onto independent accommodation in the District.
