Amendment to REF 01/2024: Concord Forensic Mental Health Unit

A Review of Environmental Factors (REF) was approved for the demolition of an existing car park and transport services building (known as Building No.29) and construction of a new three storey Forensic Mental Health facility inclusive of site works and landscaping on 11 March 2024.
The design of the new building involves a main building with three wings or fingers extending out along the eastern side with two centralised courtyards breaking up the built form.
The approved design includes a standard pitched roof form for the main building with the three external wings designed to include flat concrete rooves with appropriate fencing around the perimeter of the roof. Along the eastern side a traditional raised brick parapet feature with gable ends which concealed the flat roof. The 3D montage at Figure 1 below shows the approved flat concrete roof and associated parapet design.
