Proposal
Variation of condition 9 of (extension to provide a new College reception area, disabled compliant lift, stair linking upper and lower ground floor and a corridor linking the upper ground floor teaching spaces. Demolition of two timber footbridges and minor alterations to the east elevation). This proposal is required to mitigate two points; the first to form a new ground floor room below the approved extension, this is required to mitigate the cost of the proposed retaining wall which significantly increased the cost of the project. The second and more important is to provide a secondary means of escape from the existing ground floor around the perimeter of the building to a safe muster point. Data via plota.co.uk
