External Walls

•  Generally the external envelope of the buildings will have an appearance and finishes, which creates a looking development in accordance with the Design Guide setting out the vision and constraints for Zone 10..  It is envisaged by the Authority that the development will embrace modern construction methodology, therefore there are no preconceptions within the Authority regarding the overall construction whether it be steel, concrete, masonry, timber modular or traditional, provided it meets the security, durability and other performance criteria described in the project specifications.

•  All components of the wall construction are to be properly secured, fitted and functional, to provide a wind and weather tight roof, secure, free from water penetration, penetrating damp, energy efficient and fit for purpose that is visually acceptable, and to minimise the effect of vandalism. .
