Proposal
The proposed amendments comprise a combination of interim changes to enable an Operational Phase 1 of the development, together with a small number of permanent design adjustments. The interim proposals include the phased delivery of the adventure play, sensory rooms and healthcare facility, with their footprints temporarily treated through extended play surfacing and courtyard finishes. Associated temporary revisions to access, fire escape arrangements, façades, landscaping, civil works and drainage are proposed to allow the completed ice rink, bowling facility and gym to operate during this phase. Permanent amendments include a change to the approved external cladding material to perforated aluminium panels with the same decorative tree effect, and minor internal layout adjustments to suit operational requirements, with no change to the overall floorspace or external form of the building. Further detail is provided in the enclosed cover letter.
