3.2.1 Strategy - Massing
The building mass has been split into three elements

to reduce the monolithic impact of the building, this

has been achieved by introducing indented slots into

the faade. The physical separation of the blocks
has been augmented by a subtle manipulation of
the roof scape. The roof line of each block appears
to undulate, its direction and height changing at
each of the blocks. It is a desire to respond with the

a floor to ceiling mesh cladding. The access gate will also be
finished with mesh infill. The roof plane will be clad in an anodised

In order to gain pedestrian access through the proposed entrance and supplementary car parking a
segment of the existing hedge will need to be removed. See diagram below. This Hawthorn hedge is
outside the development boundary and will require a Certificate B notice from the City Councils Highways
department. The intention is to remove as little as possible to provide adequate access and replant within
the site boundary to augment the loss.
