Works proposed at first floor level include the removal of some modern doors; the construction of a new partition wall to the Conference Room in the West Wing; the relocation of existing doors internally in the building; construction of a new screen wall and door to the existing Lift Lobby in the West Wing; provision of new glazed security screen to the staircase at First Floor level. At second floor level it is proposed to remove modern doors; construction of a new partition wall to the Conference Room in the West Wing and the relocation of existing doors. At third floor level it is proposed to remove modern doors and a modern screen wall and to construct new lightweight partition walls within the existing rooms in the West Wing and relocate existing doors. At roof level it is proposed to undertake repair works to the existing chimney pots and to replace the existing roof lantern to the staircase with a replica and related ancillary works above and below ground. In the interest of clarity, no external works are proposed to the structure.
