For the latest information regarding the progress of the Planning Application please go to the 2011 update section. The remainder of this site relates to the Planning Application as originally submitted to Colchester Borough Council  in February 2009.

HPW was established in 1986 and is recognised as the country's leaders in innovative garden and visitor centre design. Working throughout the UK and Europe, HPW has a multi-disciplined award winning team of architects, sustainability consultants, designers and branding specialists. Applying their extensive experience and knowledge the design team develop innovative, landmark schemes with destination appeal.

Practising as HPW Design-Zero-Drive they have a highly sustainable architectural approach that is sympathetic to the local area and landscape of each individual project. This Bioregional approach to sourcing site materials and embracing renewable energy systems is being applied by HPW to visitor centre, retail, leisure and residential sites throughout the UK.

The practice has been awarded national, local, district and civic design awards for many projects including Bicester Avenue, Blooms of Bressingham visitor centre in Norfolk and a visitor/education centre at Atherstone in Warwickshire.

A significant number of Garden Centre related projects have been implemented, including the redevelopment of Dobbies Garden World, Ponteland, Northumberland, a sensitive design in the green belt adjacent to the national park using local architectural language, design and materials. On a site at Atherstone near Nuneaton, a visitor centre has been constructed as a gateway to 56 acres of country park embracing and encouraging local wildlife and indigenous species. The scheme has received a Civic Design Award the first of its kind in Warwickshire.
