Variation of condition 2 (Approved Plans) on application P22/V0416/FUL, the changes are to Tech Edge 2 building: 1. Parapet height has increased by 445mm - it is necessary to provide 1.1m upstand on the roof edge for safety reasons. 2. Overall ridge height increased by 174mm - this is due to increase in steelwork sizes. 3. Window height/openings and positioning altered - this is necessary to suit the dimensions of the cembrit fibre cement cladding panels. It is also driven by the sustainable strategy adopted during construction stage design. 4. Loading bay doors repositioning - this is necessary to suit parking arrangements and kerb lines 5. Additional louvred door to plant room added at first floor level - necessary to provide access to plant at this part of the building from the outside. 6. Cycle storage to the north of Tech Edge 2 repositioned - this is to accommodate the need for a fire hydrant in the previously approved location. 7. Additional fire exit door added to the east elevation of Unit 1 - needed to satisfy safe means of escape travel distances. 8. Installation of an external plant enclosure to the east of Unit 1. This is enclosed by a 2.8m high timber fence to match those seen at other buildings at Harwell Campus - this is necessary to meet the operational requirements of the Unit 1 tenant. 9. Addition of 2no. louvres in the east elevation of Unit 1 - this is necessary to meet the operational requirements of the Unit 1 tenant. 10. Installation of a flue on the roof of Unit 1, projecting 3m above the parapet - this is necessary to meet the operational requirements of the Unit 1 tenant. (Erection of two employment buildings, with associated landscaping and car parking).
