Proposal

Non-material amendments to planning permission ref. 22/AP/3049 dated 2/1/2024 for "Minor material amendments by variation of Condition 1 'Approved Plans' and Condition 30 'Number of Hotel Bedrooms' of planning permission ref. 20/AP/0556 (Erection of an eight storey building with basement, comprising a hotel (Class C1), flexible commercial or community unit (Class B1/D1), retail floorspace (Class A1/A3), creation of public space, landscaping and associated works. Works to the existing office building at ground and roof levels (including a new rooftop terrace, balustrades and PV panels); elevational alterations; and alterations associated with the creation of a new entrance on the Blackfriars Road elevation)." The proposed amendments include; Ground floor fire escape door location updated to comply with fire regulations. The facade line at the west side of the hotel building has been straightened due to site measured survey information of the existing office risers. UKPN doors widened with louvres to UKPN recommendation at technical design stage. Cold room roof height increased to accommodate the existing office services. Amended layouts for the accessible rooms and associated revisions to window locations. Basement level modifications to accommodate increased MEP plant area requirements (30sqm increase). Revised bin store. Reduced height of lift overruns.
