Non Material Amendment - Change in material / design of wall as original proposed recycled plastic unit wall could not meet the required 120 year design life stipulated by VOG Structures Engineer. The proposed concrete wall does meet this requirement, is used within the Highway industry and will still be efficient and economical to construct. The colour specified has been chosen to match the existing pedestrian subway entrance for aestheic reasons. The wall length and height will remain as per the original wall extents. Planning permission 2022/00278/RG3 - Transport interchange to integrate bus and rail travel. The transport interchange will utilise the existing council ground level car park area to the east of the Docks offices, creating a circulatory route for buses and taxis, with a central landscaped area with seating, cycle stands and allowing for potential cycle hub / cafe unit and 'Next-bikes' in the future (this would be a separate planning application). The scheme will also have secure cycle lockers and future proof for electric vehicle charging of both buses and taxis. New bus shelters with interactive displays, and new LED lighting to current standards will also be installed
