Proposal description

Retention permission is sought for replacement of roof structure and re-slating with salvaged and original slate, to the Old Canal Store, a Protected Structure CW124 (adjoining Goresbridge a protected structure CW6) and for the retention of an unauthorised sliding gate to the rear vehicular access. Permission is sought for a change of use of the existing ground floor to original 3 storey section (including raised area to north for Canal Museum and Cafe). This use is the first phase of a later development of upper floors which for now are being made structurally stable. Demolition of existing single lean-to structure and toilet block and its replacement with new flat roofed single storey structure for use as kitchen and toilets to new Canal Museum Cafe, area 61sqm. Refurbishment of existing industrial shed structures to allow for covered parking bike storage (and occasional community event). The installation of a fire escape access and stair from rear barrel vault shed through existing blocked opening onto Ballyellin Road. Re-fenestration of all upper floor windows and first floor structural repair of building shell and fire rating, however the use of these floors is not being considered in this phase, and there will be no public access. Glass walled viewing deck and cafe (57sqm) to canal side. Provision of a new waste water treatment system and tertiary sand filter. The provision of car spaces within the shed structure. The repair of first and second floor rooms to residential section including reconstruction of brick partitions and internal stairs
