Cycle parking presently shown in the carpark accessed from
Wicklow Avenue. This will be addressed in more detail in preparing plans for endorsement.
Noted, no change required.
This has been discussed with
Allan Wyatt, who is happy to support the plans in their current form. The setback to Kent
Avenue is for the most part greater than 9 metres. This condition would require the loading dock and service areas on Kent Avenue near the Wicklow
Avenue corner to be set back further. This would seriously compromise the functionality of the loading dock and upper level areas (food court service loading areas).
These are noted on the elevations, a more detailed finishes schedule and samples would be provided as part of the endorsement process.
This is indicated on the current plans.
To be provided as part of the endorsement process, no problems are envisaged, based on the original arborist’s advice.
However 1 street tree has been lost with the introduction of the slip lane at the Wicklow/Kent intersection

Response motif’ with colouring and texturing of the panels. The idea was to create a clear differentiation between the windowed areas that relate to the urban interfaces on
Wicklow and Kent Avenue, and the patterned facades that are more a graphic representation of a natural environment, where windows would be visually disruptive.
Any windows in the patterned panels would be blocked up from the inside, as they are not needed in the service areas to the north or the DDS to the south east corner. It would be more sensible to provide more articulation within the logic of the design if this is deemed necessary, rather than adding false windows, and at this point I have not responded to this condition.
As above.
