  • 2019/4030/P Granted

    Freemasons Hall 60 Great Queen Street London WC2B 5AZ

    Amendment of the design to amalgamate the consented separate generator housing and fuel store into a single entity. The consented scheme was for a generator housing of 10.125m x 2.45m x 4.613 and separately a fuel store that was 5.236m x 2.45m. The revised scheme bringing the two together will be 11.10m x 2.30m x 3.956m. Thus, while the amended combined design is roughly 1 metre longer than the consented generator, it is 0.6 m lower, and it eliminates the extra fuel store structure. It is confirmed that the noise level generated in the amended arrangement will remain unaltered from the consented scheme at 75db @ 1 metre and 65db @ 7 metres.
