The single storey office buildings proposed to be built following demolition of the existing buildings and structures would cover, in part, the footprint of existing sheds A and B and retain their orientation from south east to north west, as shown on the approved landscaping site plan below. The two new blocks, A and B, would be linked by a flat roof section of lower height. The total gross external area (“GEA”) of sheds A and B is 1,422 sq m. The total GEA of the new blocks and link building would be 1,103 sq m, a reduction of 22.4%. When removal of the feed hoppers and other small sheds is taken into account the total reduction in floor area would be 32%.
