1050-700-UoB 11-13 Tyndalls Park Rd DAS Design and Access Statement University of Bristol – 11-13 Tyndall’s Park Road - Refurbishment Introduction: The University of Bristol have purchased 11-13 Tyndall’s Park Road and are seeking permission to carry out refurbishment works both internally and externally, together with improving access into the building and providing disabled wc facilities on the ground floor. Formerly owned by the adjacent BBC, 11-13 Tyndall’s Park was previously used as office accommodation and the University intends to continue using the building in a similar manner. Context: 11-13 Tyndall’s Park Road is Grade II listed (ref.1291908) and situated within the Whiteladies Road Conservation Area. Consisting of a pair of attached houses with a double-depth plan, the building was constructed circa1850 in an Italianate style. Each house consists of 3 storeys and basement, and all floors have subsequently been converted to office accommodation. The BBC Bristol complex is situated to the western side and rear of the building. The driveway to the west of 11-13 is shared between the BBC and University for means of emergency vehicle access to the rear. Nos. 15-17 to the east are owned by the University. For details of the site refer to the APG site location plan 1050-001 and existing site plan 1050-0005. 11-13 Tyndall’s Park The Architecture and Planning Group Studio 5 York Court, Wilder Street, Bristol, BS2 8QH T 0117 929 3372 E [email protected] THE ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING GROUP LIMITED REGISTERED IN ENGLAND AND WALES NO.2679161 1050-APG-XX-RP-A-700 – UoB 11-13 Tyndalls Park Rd DAS Existing Condition: The building is constructed of limestone ashlar walls with timber floors spanning between load bearing internal partitions. There is ornate stonework detailing to the front elevation including canted bay windows. The side and rear elevations have painted render finishes, windows are painted timber frames with single glazing and Georgian style window bars. The roof has a concrete roman tile covering over a double pitched roof structure. The roof structure is of timber truss and purlin construction. Externally, the front area is mainly laid to lawn with footpaths to the front and east side entrance doors, including steps up to the entrances. Stone construction retaining walls form lightwells around the front basement windows. To the rear, a paved courtyard is located at basement level. The front boundary with Tyndall’s Park Road comprises a low stone retaining wall with openings for pedestrian access and vehicles to the west side.

Two main staircases link the ground and first floors with separate staircases leading to the basement. The BBC occupied the building for several years and alterations were carried out to the building to suit their requirements. This included addition of internal partitions, extensive building services throughout and linking the property to adjacent no. 15 Tyndall’s Park both physically and through shared services. The link extension still remains but has now been blocked off internally.

Internal decorative finishes are concentrated mainly on the ground floor and stairwells, including elaborate plaster ceiling cornices, ceiling roses and dado panelling to the main stairs. The stairs feature fine cast balusters and stained carved handrails. Many of the original skirtings, architraves and panelled doors remain; panelled door and window reveals and some chimney surrounds. Walls are generally painted plaster, although a number have been lined with Anaglypta paper or more recently, woodchip paper. Walls and ceilings to the central corridors are later additions, with the lowered ceilings concealing services and fire barriers above. Main entrance hallway and stair Principle ground floor room G09 On the upper floors, decorative features are generally less elaborate. Ceilings are mainly painted plaster or painted lining paper, although suspended ceilings have been added to some rooms, and some have acoustic tiles directly fixed to the ceilings.

M&E plant areas and a large wc / shower room were installed in the western rooms. Little remains of the original below stairs fitout. Lower ground office LG.07 Lower ground hallway BB.005 Proposed Refurbishment: Access: At present there is no disabled ramp access into the building and no accessible wc or kitchen facilities, so providing these is a principle focus in the refurbishment works. However, the historic nature of the building does limit the extent to which internal wheelchair access can be provided, without resorting to the major intervention of installing a lift. Therefore wheelchair access and wc facilites are to be limited to the ground floor only. To minimise the visual impact on the front façade, a new disabled access ramp is proposed to the eastern side entrance, rather than to the front entrance facing Tyndalls Park Road. Stepped access is maintained at both entrances. The proposed ramp is to be constructed from black coated steel with railings styled to mimic those present at 19 Tyndalls Park Road. Similar designed railings are also to be installed around the front lightwells for safety (see Landscape). Refer to APG proposed elevations and MJ Patch detailed drawings for railing details. A Part M compliant, wheelchair accessible wc is to be installed in room G.02 on the ground floor, adjacent to the main stair. The door will be fitted with escape hinges, allowing for the door to open outwards in an emergency. An additional unisex ambulant wc cubicle will be installed on the lower ground floor in the new gender neutral WC room LG.05. The existing kitchen bench and cupboards in Kitchen G.03 are to be replaced with a wheelchair accessible arrangement in accordance with Part M.
