CHiP - Community Hub in Pippbrook House, Dorking, Surrey
I am part of the team supporting the use of Pippbrook House as a future Community Hub in Dorking. We'd like to see it stay in public hands rather than being sold to a developer for housing. Visit the Chip web site and get involved!
CHIP is now a registered charity. The building needs a lot of work to make it functional for modern office standards. Estimates for it's renovation have varied from from £1m to £3m.
MVDC currently own Pippbrook House and will be using it for the next year or so while renovations take place to the council offices nearby. After that the building is likely to be sold.
The building has a long history and was designed by George Gilbert Scott, who designed the St Pancras Hotel in Kings Cross, London.
