| Many thanks for the information Guy. It will be refreshing not to have to wake up every morning to see the latest ad for iPhoneX. It is not easy to track the planning history of this site but, as far as I can establish, the extant planning permission involves the following: The demolition of the existing west podium (the lumpy concrete bits) and the erection of a four-storey podium which would wrap around the north, east and west elevations of the tower. The existing tower would be refurbished and re-clad to provide a new car showroom for Hyundai. A new vehicle access ramp would provide access from Brook Lane North to the ground, first, second, third and fourth floor levels. A total of 8,885m² of floorspace would be created including a new car showroom with facilities including MOT testing, repair and servicing. The building would be laid out as follows: Basement – staff and customer car parking Ground floor – reception, workshop and delivery entrances 1st and 2nd floors– car displays 3rd floor level – meeting rooms and offices 4th floor level – rooftop car display area 5th - 8th floors – car displays 9th floor– café (accessible to the public) 10th floor – “brand experience” and executive showroom An estimated total of 80 full time and 20 part time jobs would be generated. We can be thankful that Hyundai’s European manufacturing operations are in Russia and in the Czech Republic. There are no Hyundai factories in the UK to be closed as part of the Brexit dividend. |
