The current use of the site is D1 (Non-residential institutions) as explained in Ref 2.0. This houses the existing Penyffordd and Penymynydd War Memorial Institute building.

Ref 2.0 The building comprises a DDA accessible entrance ramp and lobby, with male, female and DDA accessible toilets. A large main hall space with exposed attic trusses, a small storage room, small kitchen, meeting room and external ‘garage’/storage space to the north east of the site.

The rest of the external realm of the site is used for access/parking. The north west of the site being parking and the south east of the site for pedestrian access and general access externally around the building.

The current access points are limited with pedestrian only access at the pinch point to the south of the site where Chester Road intersects with Penymynydd Road. The vehicle access is off Penymynydd Road directly into the existing site car park.

This has resulted in the design proposal to extend the kitchen and storage facilities, along with extending the hall space at the rear (north) to allow for a further flexible room.

The redesign including the small extensions to the building footprint still lie well within interface distances of neighbouring properties. The extension to the kitchen will have roller shutters to allow for an external servery, therefore there will be no additional windows Existing West Elevation Existing Chester Road North fronting onto Penymynydd Road.

The proposal as a whole seeks to give cohesion to the building, tying in the use of materials by creating new extensions from largely the same palette. The main materials used on the existing building are red brick and pebble dash as facade treatments with Welsh slate roofs. There are some aspects of paint and render but these are subsidiary to the 3 main elements.

Our proposal will complement the existing palette and adjacent properties by blending in rather than trying to dominate with new materials.

The mass and scale of the new footprint is subtle. The extension to the rear being the largest, but it’s location at the north of the site being ‘tucked away’ behind the large main hall allow Red Brick Pebble Dash Welsh Grey Slate it to sit gently without causing imposition.

Ref 6.0

Design & Access Statement 15 8.0 Conclusions

As previously explained, our proposal involves both internal and external refurbishment works to the existing building. The aim is to replace small extensions to the existing store (south east) and kitchen (north of site). Along with this, we propose an additional extension to the rear (hall).

Our proposal seeks to create cohesion between all buildings which meet around the land which is our site, tying them together by using a mixture of contextual materials and facade treatments.

We believe that should our application be granted and permit the changes and additions described in this statement, the efficiency of spatial planning and occupancy usage will be dramatically improved.
