Reviewed build intelligence
Government document review
The 19 August notification is a decision to grant, not a final grant. The 105 m² cafe/bar is included in the 691 m² education hub; it is not an additional building area.

Decision to grant on 19 August; final grant not established
What the evidence says
The August notification describes a 1,105.5 m² auditorium incorporating a 271-seat hall and ancillary rooms, a 691 m² education hub incorporating the 105 m² cafe/bar, and a separate two-storey plant building. The notice says a later final grant is required before development is authorised.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Performance-space, teaching and building-services packages need their distinct uses and included subareas retained in the project scope.
What is not established
Final grant, a reconciled all-building floor-area schedule, contractor appointment and commencement are not established.

Original WCMC-P-104 revision A; not a construction-issued roof or equipment schedule
What the evidence says
Revision A of the roof plan shows metal-clad sloping roofs matching the facade, metal-clad lanterns, rooflights and metal screens concealing plant. It also identifies the separate external plant room. These are the April planning design details, subject to the July amendments and subsequent decision requirements.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Roofing, facade and mechanical teams need to coordinate the lanterns, daylight openings and plant screening at the detailed-design stage.
What is not established
Final metal specification, structural support, plant selection, equipment capacity and any later roof-detail approval are not established.

Acoustic requirements in a council decision; compliance not demonstrated
What the evidence says
Conditions 11 to 13 require acoustic-professional confirmation of the submitted noise assessment recommendations before development, a construction noise and vibration plan, and a noise survey within three months of operations. At noise-sensitive locations the notification sets 55 dBA daytime, 50 dBA evening and 45 dBA night limits, with the document specifying different averaging measures.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Acoustic consultants and performance-space and mechanical designers need the envelope, plant and operating regime coordinated against the stated limits.
What is not established
Final acoustic report, compliance approval, installed sound insulation and operating-noise survey are not established.

Enabling requirement recorded in the August decision
What the evidence says
Condition 10 requires an agreed final invasive-species management plan, specialist treatment or removal of Japanese knotweed and giant rhubarb, and specialist certification that the site is free from contamination before construction. The condition also addresses licensing for removal of these species or affected soil.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Groundworks, demolition and ecology teams should establish the agreed treatment and soil-handling sequence before mobilisation.
What is not established
Approved final management plan, licensing, specialist certification and completed clearance are not established.
