  This will include such aspects as fire safety and access for people with disabilities. Changes of use, which increase occupancy levels, may require a review of toilet facilities.
  A proposal for additional toilet provision would require consistency with this HMP.

  This will require detailed consideration of each proposal and possibly performance solutions sought to conserve and protect original fabric and maintain the significance of the building yet meet the performance requirements.

  Policy 3.6
  Repairs and maintenance are essential to heritage conservation and will ensure ongoing conservation and protection of the official listed values and heritage significance.

The original areas of the building are old and the patina that exists is part of its history. Wholesale replacement to new condition is not acceptable. Essential replacement however is acceptable but when replacing original fabric new details should match original details without conjecture. When replacing non-original fabric Heritage Impact Assessments will explore suitable

  options including to return the building to a known earlier state, replacing it to match existing details or adding new material in a sympathetic way.
