Alteration and replacement of windows and external doors and new access ramps and steps to West facing elevation. Installation of external mechanical plant area to East facing side of building and new louvered screen and gates.”

“The need for the two aspects of development arises from the requirement to comply with Building Regulations. The mezzanine floor which has been created as part of the regeneration works is unable to secure sign off from Building Control and therefore is unable to be used by members of the public until such time as appropriate ventilation has been installed.”

“The works are essential to ensuring that the Hall which has been the subject of an extensive programme of regeneration works, can achieve sign off from Building Control in relation to matters of fire safety, and therefore open the mezzanine floor to members of the general public.”
