Revisions to previously approved administrative/warehouse building consisting of the following: (a) Revised internal layout consisting of addition of new stair core and lift at ground floor level connecting to new storage area at first floor level (428 m2 GFA), increasing the total GFA of the administrative/warehouse building from 855 m2 to 1283 m2. (b) Revised façade design to elevations including revised fenestration to south elevation, revised fenestration and door design to west elevation, revised fenestration to east elevation and provision of new external fire staircase and first floor level access door to east elevation. (c) Increase in height of administrative/warehouse building by 1 m to 7.38 m. (d) Revised colour of material finish from green to dark grey. 2. Revisions to previously approved gas turbine including revised shape of evaporative cooler, addition of servicing gantries and the slight moving of the gas turbine c. 5.57 m to the north as demonstrated on the enclosed architectural plans (Drg No. Drawing No. 25043-PL-04.1) Internal gas turbine machinery and installation as part of revised gas turbine model to be provided to later specialist design as previously approved under Reg. Ref. FW22A/0204. 3. Revised size and location of fin fan coolers within power island compound as demonstrated on enclosed architectural plans. 4. Revisions to layout of diesel storage compound to now provide 1 no. larger fuel storage tank with an increase in maximum height from 16.2 m to 20 m and an increase in diameter from 24.4 m to 49 m. 5. Revised design and location of the Packaged Electronic/Electrical Control Compartment (PEECC) within the power island compound to now comprise a single storey stilted building raised 2.6 m above ground level, accessed via 2 no. external stairs and a new servicing gantry at finished floor level, with a floor-to-ceiling height of 3.25 m and an overall height of 6 m, and an increase in GFA from 72 m2 to 148.51 m2 together with façade changes. 6. Revised design and location of BOP Power Distribution Centre within power island compound as demonstrated on enclosed architectural drawings including increase in GFA from 129 m2 to 160.6 m2 together with façade changes including revised fenestration to west and east elevations. 7. The addition of new Aux Equipment Block (connected to the Gas Turbine) with a GFA of 361.20 m2 and height ranging from 7.65m to 9.59m and new servicing gantries for the purposes of sheltering specialist equipment and machinery as identified on the enclosed architectural drawings. 8. The addition of a HVAC Structure within power island compound with a maximum height of 8.84 m which supports two HVAC units on the top and the Starter Transformer and Excitation Transformer below. 9. Revision to previously approved Acoustic Wall within power island compound consisting of a slight decrease in length from 107.0m to 101.6m. 10. Removal of previously approved 16.2m high x 18.3m dia Demin Water Tank and replaced with Separate Demin Water Tank to be added as a non-permanent structure rather a small cube refill tank. 11. Removal and replacement of select number of smaller equipment items as identified on the equipment identification drawings prepared by CWPA Planning & Architecture (Drawing No. 25043-PL-14). 12. Minor revision to internal road network as demonstrated on enclosed architectural drawings to accommodate proposed amendments.
