3 Public Participation
Mr Ullathorne, Director of Rectory Homes and Rectory Living addressed the committee regarding 9271 P14/S0086/FUL – proposed external alterations to Angus House. The proposed cladding material had been extensively used on various buildings, examples of which could be seen along the A40 corridor into London. The metal grid system provided the benefit of insulation and sustainability and the cladding would considerably improve the fenestration on the approach to the town along Thame Park Road. Mr Ullathorne tabled two samples of the proposed cladding material.
The cladding would be of two different types, smooth and textured and two colours, dark and light to break up the appearance of the building. The textured light colour giving the appearance of stone similar to the finish on the Police Station in the town. The window configuration was constrained to some extent by the steel framed building but the design let both light and ventilation to the building.
