The Belfry, Warwickshire
ReardonSmith’s design for the £200 million redevelopment of The Belfry golf and leisure resort has recently received unanimous support from North Warwickshire’s Planning Committee. Key to this vote of confidence in the proposal, which will see The Belfry transformed into the only 5* resort in the Midlands, is its sustainability credentials. A BREEAM assessment was carried out on each of the proposed new buildings and full environmental impact assessments were undertaken. The scheme includes a new energy centre that will deliver 10% of the resort’s total energy demand through on-site renewables and a target 15% of heating and cooling will be ground sourced. Biodiversity plans for the three golf courses, as well as green roofs and rainwater harvesting and recycling, form part of the proposal to introduce a sustainable irrigation and drainage system; hard standing will be dramatically reduced by moving more than half the car parking underground and by locating, where practicable, new buildings on existing hard standing.
The design includes a new 500-key hotel conceived as a low-rise contemporary building which, with just five guestroom floors, will be below the surrounding mature tree canopy. In addition, there will be a new driving range and PGA headquarters, a building to accommodate a national golf training academy and a new leisure complex. The famous Brabazon House façade will be incorporated into the new Clubhouse overlooking the Brabazon course.
