Discharge of condition 14 (details of demolition/defenestration of IQ buildings) on application P24/V2383/S73 (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.
