6. New Fire Exit
Proposal: Alternative Fire Exit via proposed ramp to currently bricked ‐ up opening in Fort perimeter walls exiting to Fort st. NB: The brick archway is a later circa 19 th century addition. (See Fig. 7 ‐ overleaf) Impacts: Positive, Long Term, Irreversible, Moderate.
By Remedy: Excavation works to be monitored on ‐ site by suitably qualified licenced archaeologist. Any historic material if discovered, to be discussed with the City Conservation Officer and Archaeologist. By Remedy: Methodology required for removal of stone and associated temporary structural supports for brick arches to Conservation Engineer specification and detail. Only fabric blocking a 19th ‐ century opening to be removed as part of these works. By Remedy: Key mitigation is the public benefit of providing necessary safety measures for larger events. Suitable materials to be considered for the internal ramp and low ‐ level retaining walls. Handrails colour to match existing on ‐ site. Concrete landing external to Fort St. subject to safety requirements. Proposed timber door to be similar to the main entrance doors and sympathetic to the character of the structure.
