55 Broadway

Description

A new landscaped court has been created to provide a separate residential entrance and give more 'breathing space' around the whole site. Pavements will be widened and street clutter removed to improve the setting of the listed building. Removal of 100 Petty France will open up views of the high level sculptures by Eric Gill and Eric Aumonier. A roof terrace at first floor level will serve a shared residents' lounge whilst existing roof terraces will serve adjacent apartments.
