total. Architectural drawings show the formation of multiple self-contained flats on each level
arranged around a central stair and lobby.
Summary
The building is an existing brick structure comprising ground to fourth floors, giving five storeys in
total. Architectural drawings show the formation of multiple self-contained flats on each level
arranged around a central stair and lobby. The plans include a clear legend identifying existing
partitions, removals and new wall linings, with separating walls between flats highlighted. Structural
notes confirm that bending, shear, bearing and deflection are all within permissible limits for the
proposed members, and reference is made to a precast beam-and-block floor system. Site works
indicate that strip-out is complete, stud partitions are being formed, and roof-level works retain
historic timber trusses.
Site & Building Description
The property is a character brick building fronting Lord Street within an urban town-centre setting.
External context shows neighbouring redevelopment activity and an adjacent vacant structure. The
primary building displays red brick facades with stone dressings and a traditional slate roof.
Internally, original timber beams and brick walls are visible following strip-out. New studwork is
being installed to form apartment layouts.
Scope of Works (as indicated on plans)
The works involve the formation of self-contained residential units on the ground, first, second, third
and fourth floors. They include the installation of new partitions, alterations to existing timber and
stud partitions, and the removal of selected existing walls as shown on the plans. New kitchens and
living rooms are positioned on principal elevations, with bedrooms and shower/WC clusters located
off the central core. Structural strengthening is planned with the introduction of new members to
suit the revised layouts and floors, including precast beam-and-block elements where required. The
existing single protected stair will continue to serve all levels, with lobbies and flat entrances
accessed from the stairwell.
Accommodation Notes
Room annotations on the drawings indicate typical one-bedroom apartment arrangements per
floor. From the legible labels, typical Kitchen and Living spaces range approximately between 17
and 26 square metres, while bedroom spaces are generally between 13 and 16 square metres.
Exact areas should be read from the original high-resolution drawings, with each plan drawn at a
scale of 1:50.
Key Risks & Notes
The drawings provided are low-resolution screenshots and should not be scaled for construction.
All dimensions, room numbers and areas must be verified against the original cad or PDF
drawings. Historic building fabric is present, and any intrusive works should be reviewed by
structural and heritage consultants.
