Official record

Development description

The proposal is for the development of a site at bath lane (rear of gardiner place). This development will consist of removing a section of the roof top from the inside section of the premises as well as an inside wall. This unused shed space will be renovated and transformed into a public sauna facility. The largest part of the building operation will involve the removal of a small section of the roof top to allow for natural light and fresh air to flow through the premises freely. Other than that, the construction work will involve reflooring the interior of the premises as well as plastering and insulating the walls appropriately. The shed is not a protected building and the changes made to the roof will not be visible from the outside viewing and will not effect the appearance of bath lane or surrounding areas, as outlined in the drawings. The proposed electric sauna will have a capacity for eight people and will be located in the sheltered interior area of the shed. There will also be showers added as well as an improved drainage system on the premises. The proposed recreational space will cater for between 0-8 people every hour during the daytime and evening from approximately 4pm
9pm
