General refurbishment of Claridge House, including structural and thermal improvements, improvements for fire safety and improved access. Reconstruction of the back-stair, making the second floor one level, and the construction of new lobbies to separate the back stair from the ground and first floor offices. Existing doors and windows will be refurbished, with some new doors and windows proposed. The roofs will be insulated, and the existing concrete roof tiles replaced with clay plain tiles and a rooflight inserted. The forecourt will be resurfaced, new planting beds made, and the pebbledash to the facade renewed. The existing 1990s boiler house will be demolished, and a new plant room constructed.
