We are delighted to announce that our project to build a Wellness Centre within the Victorian Walled Garden at Birling Manor was granted planning permission earlier this year. It is a fantastic opportunity to take a crumbling local heritage asset and turn it into a place of health & wellbeing; promoting connection to nature and community.
Our mission is to help people attain a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.
This has informed the combination of uses on the site and plans include a yoga/mediation studio, a plant-based garden kitchen, treatment rooms and an education space; all set within an acre of re-landscaped garden and with access to the wider 14 acre manor gardens. Treatments will include sports massage, chiropractic/osteopathy, psychotherapy and other holistic therapies. The garden kitchen will serve local seasonal produce; supplementing what we can grow within the garden.
The design for a low-carbon exemplar using local materials was by Tate & Co Architects and Marian Boswall Landscape Architects, together with Price & Myers Structural Engineers and Max Fordham LLP Environmental Engineers.
We were very grateful for support from the Parish Council and many of the local residents. The date for construction and opening is yet to be decided but we hope in time it will become an important part of the local community.
