v) The adequate space provided within the central area (between the Austin Building and the Attenborough Building) wil not require any demolition or removal of any part of the Austin Building.

vi) The retained Mond Building fits with the increased pedestrianised space although the purpose of the reduced Mond Building is not indicated.

vii) To the south of the area it is envisaged demolishing the Shell Building and the Goldsmiths Laboratory to enable 'greening of the area around a new entranceway from Pembroke Street. Again this would contribute to the increased space between the Attenborough Building and the Old Metallugy Building which it is intended to retain.

viii) The necessity of demolishing both the Shell Building and Goldsmsiths Laboratory to attain such a space is not clear. lf the size of the Attenborough Building annexe is only as is almost completed at the moment then adequate pedestrian space by the removal of the Goldsmiths Laboratory only and not the Shell Building as well would be a better and more realistic plan.

ix) The making of a new entrance through the Heycock Wing into the central area should be very carefully
considered as this frontage onto Pembroke Street is also of listed nature and the engineering difficult. Could not the existing entrance from Pembroke Street be slightly altered to serve as the entrance?
