Proposal

The application is for listed building consent for the replacement and regrading of the entrance steps at 16 Hanover Square and the change in opening direction of the entrance door. Our intention is to enhance the appearance of the entrance area and make it safer / compliant with the requirements for emergency egress. The proposals would not impact on any original structure which would remain intact beneath. The intention is to match the existing marble. The replacement front doors would open outwards for emergency egress and would match the consented doors in all details.
