Steering group chairman Peter Lynn said: “This is an exciting opportunity for everyone to see the results of the early consultation and the sort of design options that are being suggested for the Maltings complex.
“We would welcome people's thoughts on how the building can be best used for the future of Wells and everyone who lives here.”
The design, research and consultation activities are expected to last three months. Funding for the study was helped by a �25,000 grant from the Sea Change Fund and financial support from the North Norfolk Community Partnership and North Norfolk District Council.
