Description

The incorporation of lead detailing to horizontal surfaces to act as damp proof membranes, application of membrane to vertical elements of the louvres to the internal face of the tower, new man-safe system and rope access systems to provide safer access to undertake maintenance, along with upgrades to the west terrace and the external stairs which aim to reduce weaknesses in the waterproofing details and to encourage safer movement. Internal works include upgrades to the electrical system with works to improve the emergency lighting in the staircases, along with the incorporation of a new fire alarm system. New radiators are to be installed to the ground floor of the chapel, which will see the removal of the contemporary white panel radiators and the installation of more suitable radiators. Below ground drainage works are also proposed, which will see the improved control and management of surface water. A new lift is proposed to be incorporated into the southwest tower, which will provide level access between the lower ground floor and the upper ground floor, providing wheelchair access into the tower. This will be combined with alterations to a small area of pews to the ground floor of the chapel to accommodate wheelchair seating. In addition, modifications to adjacent spaces to enable ease of movement between the interior and exterior are also proposed, which are all confined to the south west tower area (application for Listed Building Consent)
