City Church, Chelmsford

Conversion of a locally listed warehouse building in Chelmsford for use as a place of worship.

An existing and locally listed warehouse building in Chelmsford is being converted for use as a place of worship where there will be regular services, rehearsals and other community activity employing amplified music and speech.

The building is surrounded, overlooked, and in close proximity to, a number of dwellings; and special attenuation to sound isolation of the external fabric was required at feasibility, planning, detailed design and construction stages to address potential issues of noise disturbance.
