As filed with the council
A non-material variation is sought for the following- 1.Block E has changed from Private for Sale to Build To Rent. This results in a 1 storey reduction, a change to the accommodation mix and amendments to the elevations. 2.Internal apartment layouts have been developed to suit the affordable and BTR providers requirement as well as the private for sale market. 3.The central stair core from Block E has been removed. 4.Minor facade changes have been made to align with the internal layouts. 5.The basement structure has been rationalised to make it more efficient for construction and operation. 6.Blocks A-D - mid-floor banding has changed from a pressed metal banding to a pre-cast stringcourse. 7.Balcony sizes have been rationalised across all blocks as well as the metalwork detail. 8.PVs have been added to the Block E+F roof to meet Building Standards.
