Site Description 1.1 The subject site is part of a site owned by Wolverhampton City Council and fronts the Black Country Route which runs along the south boundary of the site. 1.2 The curtilage has a main building, and smaller temporary and permanent buildings associated with the use of the Bilston Market situated around the main building. 2. Application details 2.1 It is proposed to extend the indent in the south-west corner of the main building for the purpose of a toilet block, and re-locate the existing entrance and install roller shutters for the new entrance. 2.2 The toilet block will have approximate dimensions of 6m x 8.2m and will consist of a male toilet block, female toilet block, and a disabled/baby change toilet block. The extension will fill in the current indent, so that the building will continue the existing building line from the road. The toilets will be accessed from the new entrance which will serve the toilets and the market. 2.3 The previous entrance into this part of the building was within the indent of the building, this entrance will be relocated to the new south wall. The entrance will contain double doors that open to dimensions of 2.3m wide. 2.4 The doors will be secured by a full lath roller shutter which will cover the entire new entrance. 5 2.5 Amended plans were submitted that have the external roller shutters as punched lath roller-shutters with polycarbonate inserts. 3.

External consultees 9.1 West Midlands Police Awaiting a response at the time of writing 10. Appraisal 10.1 Due to the continued use and success of the retail market in Bilston, it is appropriate for the addition of an extra toilet block which will more comfortably cater for the market patrons. The extension fills in an existing indent in the south-west corner of the building and is in line with the current south wall. 10.2 It is appropriate for the new entrance to be placed on the south wall which should not adversely impact upon any free-flow of pedestrian movement, and is large enough to be used by disabled people. The new entrance will be visible from the Black Country Route so it is important that the roller shutters create an acceptable visual entry when viewed from the street. 10.3 Currently the entrances of the main building to the Bilston Market have solid external roller-shutters. However, this form of roller-shutter can create an environment which is perceived as oppressive and unsafe. Although it would be preferable for internal roller shutters to be used, due to past vandalism of the site, external roller-shutters in this case for the new entrance is appropriate. In order to comply with the Wolverhampton UDP and SPG No.5 'Shopfront Design Guide’ amended plans have been received which detail punched-lath roller- shutters with poly carbonate apertures will be used and satisfactorily comply with Council Policy. 7 12.
