26/01215/LBC - Listed Building Consent Approved

Proposal

Decommissioning and removing power and cooling infrastructure entirely. Stripping out cabling back to the main switch and cooling pipework back to the 3 external chiller units in the courtyard and stripping these and removing them from the site. Only impact on building structure itself will be where needed to make good penetrations where cables & pipework pass through masonry. Data via plota.co.uk
