A small increase in the building’s floor area (from the permitted area of c.111 sq.m. to c.142 sq.m.), to include a café/restaurant (c.107 sq.m.) area, kitchen (c.28 sq.m.) and storage (c.6 sq.m.) to serve guests and staff only, enhancing the environmental education experience, with associated amendments to the building’s elevations. c. The addition of an external covered walkway (c.86 sq.m.) connecting the Environmental Induction Building as amended to the existing WC/shower facilities building. The application is supported by an addendum Natura Impact Statement (NIS) to the original NIS submitted under Ref. No. PD/23/60204 at
