Development description

Protected structure: the development will consist of the construction of a link on each of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors between the existing front block on bachelors walk and the existing centre block behind to allow the existing lifts in the centre block provide universal access to the front block. The links on each floor will include 4 additional bedrooms on each floor, a total for 12 bedrooms. This work does not interfere with the façade of the building which is a protected structure.
