North Staffordshire Mind unveils plans for new Hanley site

“The brief was to design a new headquarters for North Staffordshire Mind that would act as a central hub for all services provided in and around the area,” according to a statement submitted in the application.

“Services and facilities currently offered in the existing office will be provided within the building, but there is an aspiration to provide flexibility in the building design to enable the building to adapt to the needs of North Staffordshire Mind,” he added.

The document states that the storefront will face Marsh Street and will have a separate entrance for services.

It said the plan was to allow the cafe to operate independently of the rest of the building.
