Issue - Demolition and alterations to northern area
As noted in the Heritage Impact Statement, the dining room is a recent addition and not of
heritage significance. As a relatively open structure the proposed roof deck does not obstruct
the northern view of the building or the original building footprint and elevation. However, the
new openings onto the deck are not sympathetic with the proportions and size of the early
building elements. It is recommended the following changes should also be considered to
mitigate the impact on the northern elevation.
•     Increase opening head height to match adjacent windows




•     Locate openings in the northern wall to align with those in the southern wall. It is
      preferable that the openings would be the same width as those in the southern wall.
      However, if this is not possible due to current requirements for circulation a slight
      increase in width would be allowable provided, they are centred with the southern wall
      openings.




•     Consider the form and detail of the rail to the roof deck to ensure it is consistent in
      character and incorporates horizontal detailing sympathetic to the original building rails,
      as noted elsewhere.
Information Required
16.   Provide amended plans making the recommended changes to the northern area.
