This book was prepared by the original owners of the site, NHS Executive: Anglia and Oxford, and the original prospective buyers of the site, The Wiggins Group Plc. This project book is full of hand drawn plans showing all aspects of the old asylum with areas to be kept, demolished, tree and planted areas, full history of the asylum and why it qualified for Grade II listing status. Also, who the project team and companies were and their involvement in the project. There are chapters on the condition of the listed buildings, including discussions with English Heritage and the county conservation officer. There are many differences between the original plans and how the asylum and the surrounding areas were finally developed. The book size is 16.5 inches x 12 inches.
