1. Positive support		2. No objection
3. Objection	X	4. Objection unless revised as below
5. No comment/neutral		6. Lack of detail
7. Decision already issued

Reason for objection:

Objection. We have no issue with the demolition of the existing outrigger extension (toilet block) as it is of low quality & does not form an original part of the grade 2 listed museum to which it is attached. However, we are concerned that its replacement is being proposed here in isolation from the PA for the new Kingfisher Centre (22/00602 refers). We have objected strongly to that PA. If 22/00602 was not to proceed for example then, in our view, the new museum extension (22/00604) would be completely out of character with its listed host.

In order to help prevent such a consequence, we respectfully request a call-in of this PA.
