The application site is principally bounded by an existing internal access road to the north; by the existing Emergency and Renal Departments and associated inpatient wards above to the south; by the existing hospital to the east and by St. Nessan’s Road to the west. The Hospital Chapel within the Hospital Campus is a Protected Structure (RPS. Reg. 1649). No works are proposed to the Protected Structure as part of this application. The development will consist of a rooftop extension to the Shell extension granted under Reg. Ref. 23/60506, comprising an enclosed plant at Level 02 and a 4 storey ward above at Levels 03, 04, 05, and 06, consisting of 96 no. acute inpatient bed spaces, landscaped outdoor amenity areas (Level 03), support services, staff amenities, offices, storage and other ancillary areas, in addition to a roof plant at Level 07. The proposed development will connect and integrate with the permitted 96 no. bed ward to the south granted under Reg. Ref 20/775 which is currently under construction. As a result of the extension, the permitted building height on the subject site, as approved under Reg. Ref. 23/60506, will increase from c. 12m to a maximum height of c. 37m (top of staircore) along St. Nessan’s Road. The development will also include amendments to the permitted Shell extension (Levels -02, -01, 00 and 02) granted under Reg. Ref. 23/60506, comprising: alterations to Level 02 (roof) to accommodate the provision of plant at Level 02; removal of a ventilation well to the basement car park; relocation of the pedestrian and cyclist access to the basement at Level -01 from the north elevation to the west elevation; relocation of a fire escape door from the east elevation to the north elevation; the addition of an external column for structural support; minor alterations to all elevations including the rearrangement of windows and louvre openings and changes to materials and finishes. The development will also include: covered and uncovered bicycle parking spaces at various locations throughout the campus; the provision of a new shared pedestrian and cyclist link located to the north of the campus connecting to St. Nessan’s Road; green roofs; plant; changes in levels and all associated ancillary site development above and below ground
