Alterations to the existing covered walkway between the Corporate entrance and the Middlesex Suite (2nd level of the building) to form a fully enclosed link by installing new windows and glazed screens. Formation of new entrance door (1st level of the building) to North Quadrant.

Agenda items 11 and 12 were considered together. Officers presented the applications which sought planning permission / listed building consent for alterations to the existing walkway between the Corporate entrance and the Middlesex Suite at the Civic Centre. It was noted that the Civic Centre was a Grade II listed building. Members heard that the proposed works would facilitate improvements to current access arrangements to public services which were not easily accessible at present. It was confirmed that Heritage and Access officers had raised no concerns in respect of the proposals.

Members welcomed the proposal commenting that it struck the right balance between the protection of an asset and improved access for residents.

The officer’s recommendation was moved, seconded and, when put to a vote, unanimously agreed.

RESOLVED: That the application be approved.
