Eleven10 are delighted to achieve planning approval for the Oake & District Community Benefit Society to relocate Oake post office to the nearby village hall.
The proposed relocation of the post office will contribute significantly towards sustaining the economic vitality of Oake and the wider village communities as a whole and especially those older, retired residents who rely on this service to draw their pensions, etc.
Eleven10 are supervising the construction work, which begins in May 2019.
Eleven10 are delighted to have achieved planning permission for a major extension to the existing premises at Wellsprings Community Church, Taunton, to provide a new entrance and welcome area to the front of the main building, together with other improvements and general updating.
The proposed works are due to begin this year and will enable WCC to have an increased involvement in, and impact on, the local community, providing a key point of contact for those in need and a resource for social interaction. Improving their ability to accommodate an increasing number of adults, children and young people who they support and have contact with throughout the week.
The building improvements include :
a new well-lit entrance and welcome area with a new permanent café area
new access direct into the refurbished church hall, along with a new glazed and sliding acoustic wall
an enlarged and purpose designed commercial kitchen
improved limited mobility and wheelchair-friendly access to the main hall and to other rooms (all DDA compliant)
new accessible toilet
a new, more efficient heating system
Eleven10 are excited to be working on planning drawings to extend the existing Oake community centre. Nestled in the heart of the village, this new venture will be a welcome replacement of the existing neighbourhood post office and local shop.
By relocating the post office to the village hall, this proposed development will offer a valuable contribution to the Parish of Oake, sustaining its economic vitality and the livelihood of the nearby communities.
