    Non material amendment on application 23/04687/FUL to: 1 - Community Centre Hall (Block ABC east elevation) single exit doors within garden space amended to double doors to comply with fire strategy. 2 - Community Centre (Block ABC west elevation) 1no. window to one to one room at request of Cambridge City Council due to operational requirements. 3 - Community Centre (Block ABC link roof) 1no. Skylight introduced for access and natural light. 4 - Community Centre (Block ABC) Glazing to garden wall omitted for hit and miss brick detail at request of Cambridge City Council due to vandalism and maintenance concerns. 5 - Community Centre (Garden) Ramp omitted due to appropriate existing levels allowing level access. 6 - All Blocks (Elevations) 825mm reduction in parapet height to accommodate appropriate technical floor and roof build ups, and service voids, which would have otherwise increased overall building height. 7 - Block ABC (North and East Elevations) 3no.
