Description

We plan to create a dedicated protected fire escape staircase from the first floor of the care home, extend the lounge to allow access to the new staircase, and install a passenger lift internally. A part of the extension will be 2-storey (the top of the stairs) and the rest will be single storey (extension to the lounge and the ground floor landing/exit for the stairs).
