Proposed Use During the public consultation workshops, and at a later more focussed co-design workshop with the Neighbourhood Team, proposals emerged to develop the Weighmaster’s House for a new creative hub to complement the Ed Tech Enterprise Centre permitted and planned for the Butter Exchange Complex. This would become a significant community resource that acts as a hub for innovative and creative activity with potential co-benefits associated with the adjoining enterprise hub in terms of the educational technology environment, which could take a number of forms. It is intended to ensure flexibility in design within the overall design of the Weighmasters and Butter Exchange complex to maximise the opportunities for integrated as well as independent usage and operation by a range of users. With regard to the proposed space layout examples of uses might include creative space, recording studios, workdesks, meetings, events, exhibitions. The design reflects suggestions to ensure that the groundfloor is predominantly a larger more flexible space.
