Description
The Abbey Hall is the 1960's building to the rear of the Abingdon Town Council Guild Hall. The Guild Hall is a Grade II listed structure but the Abbey Hall is not considered listed by the incumbent conservation officer. The building has been out of use for the last three years. There is the intention to reopen the Abbey Hall, after a programme of minor refurbishment works which required a review of the means of escape provision to inform the proposal.
The proposed works that require planning permission include:
- the replacement of one emergency escape stair to the Abbey Gate side elevation with a compliant width steel unit, using the existing concrete footings. Style to match existing.
- insertion of an escape stair to the side elevation of the building by the Guildhall car park where previously there was a ramp installed from first to ground level. The proposal is to reinstate the emergency exit door and install a steel framed compliant means of escape stair to ground level.
