Development description
Alterations to a previously granted planning permission (ref no. 2686/20).

Condition no. 3 requires that the applicant shall 'incorporate a physical link at ground floor level via the proposed atrium of the proposed building providing for a pedestrian route from the existing campus northwards onto collins avenue where a doorway will be provided'. This application proposes that there be no external access from the atrium onto collins avenue.
