Proposal
Amendments to planning permission dated 13th August 2024 (RN:) for Upward extension of the existing building (involving removal of existing mansard and replacement with a part two, part three storey roof extension with green roof and PV panels); rearward extensions (from lower ground to new sixth floor levels), excavation to form a new sub-basement level; alterations to the elevations; installation of a ground source energy system and mechanical plant. Works in connection with the provision of an apart-hotel (Use Class C1) (at fourth, fifth and sixth floor levels), which is to be accessed via a new entrance on Arneway Street via a dedicated reception area at ground floor level; and the enlargement and reconfiguration of the existing hostel accommodation (sui generis) (at sub-basement, lower ground, ground, first, second, and third floor levels), which provides accommodation for (i) students during the academic terms (42-44 weeks per annum) with some stays of up to 51 weeks and (ii) students for stays of up to 10 weeks per annum outside the academic terms. Namely, improving the standard and functionality of the approved hostel and apart-hotel accommodation, while also enhancing operational and construction efficiencies by making minor changes to riser locations, corridors and the interventions to existing fabric.
