Development description

Permission for amendments to previously approved grant of permission (ref 2701-16 & pl29s. 247947). The development consists of the remodelling of external facades along with internal alterations, which comprise: a) re-organisation of the upper ground and lower ground floor levels, such that the bar and restaurant open out to the rear garden at lower ground level, to include a glazed 'garden room' extension, and the resultant relocation of bedrooms to the upper ground level at rear, with omission of the raised external restaurant deck; re-arranged entrance lobby and cafe to the front at upper ground level, with the entrance and lobby repositioned to the south, with a new entrance to the north end to provide a separate access to the lower ground bar and restaurant. B) re-organisation of the bedroom floors (1st to 5th), to include the provision of 9 no. Additional bedrooms, with 192 sq. M of additional floor area, over these floors; the projecting bay window to the east boundary of all floors is omitted; c) re-organisation of the top bedroom floor (6th), with the omission of bedrooms so as to accommodate enclosed plant areas; omission of 1 bedroom, and reduction in floor area of 23 sq. M; the projecting bay window to the east boundary is omitted; d) elevational changes to accommodate the above, including the use of pre-dominantly brick cladding, with pressed-metal cladding to the 5th & 6th floors, in lieu of previously proposed render, black zinc, natural zinc, reglit glass panels and aluminium cladding panels. A decorative back-lit corten steel wall is proposed to announce the access route to the historical site to rear. Bedroom terraces are proposed at 1st floor overlooking the garden (to 5 bedrooms), and at 5th and 6th floors overlooking the street (to 4 bedrooms). The gross floor area of the development is 5739sq.
