Exciting developments at Viney Hill!
The local diocese recently purchased a property adjacent to the Centre here at Viney Hill, and have now leased the house and land to the Centre. The house has been rented out to a private tenant, and the land is to be used for Centre activities.
As you know, we are always looking for ways to better improve our site, skills and service in order to provide you, our visitors, with the best experience for your activity residential as possible. This extra land is going to enable us to extend our onsite activities with a wild camping/bushcraft area; we will be able to move the archery and team building games, enabling us to extend our onsite parking to the benefit of our visitors and our neighbours. Also, as a Centre that feels very strongly about looking after our environment and caring for God's creation, we will also be able to have an environmental garden area.
We have had some constructive feedback from our neighbours in the village regarding the new plans, and concerning the ongoing work of the Centre. This will enable us to move into the future working for the benefit of the groups that visit us, but also thinking about the thoughts and concerns of those who live close to us.
Today marks a step forward in the process, as our application for change of use of the new land is considered by the local planning authority.
