ProposalDescription: 

Proposed alterations and additions to 137 Kenneth Kaunda Road, Durban North

Expanded_Motivation: 

3. Historical Significance: The building is of no known historical significance. 4. Architectural Significance: Although the building is over 60 years old, there is no evidence of any architectural significance to the building. The building has been added to and altered over the years to accommodate its changing use. The original building was a domestic dwelling, however it is currently used as a daycare facility for Chelsea Preparatory School. The School’s intention is to improve on the existing facility by making a few small alterations and additions to the existing structure. 5. Urban Setting & Adjoining Properties: The site is situated on Kenneth Kaunda Road (formerly Northway Road) It is partly a residential area, with the exception of Chelsea Preparatory School, which covers the two adjacent neighboring sites. The School owns the property and has been using the building as an overflow area servicing as a day care facility. Proposed work: 2. Motivation of proposed work (Please motivate fully): The proposed minor work is necessary in order to create more workable spaces within the building suitable for its use as a day care facility. In addition a verandah extension is proposed along the north elevation to assist with solar control to the rooms along this elevation. A new boundary wall is proposed along the south boundary as the current fence is in a bad state of disrepair and the school has serious security concerns with regards to the safety of the staff and pupils. 3. Detail the alterations/additions proposed. The proposed alterations consist of an extension the existing covered verandah area, which appears to be an original extension to the building. The new verandah will be along the north elevation to assist with solar control to this façade. With the inclusion of this verandah it is necessary to replace three windows on the north elevation as the space between the existing gutter and current head height of these windows does not allow for enough space to connect the verandah roof to the existing building. The roof of the existing verandah will be replaced with new roof sheeting, as the current roof requires continuous maintenance. An existing window on the west elevation will be revised to a service hatch to allow for serving of juice and teas from the kitchen onto the verandah keeping the children out of the working area of the kitchen. The balance of the alterations are internal changes consisting of the demolition of internal walls and bricking up of existing door openings to create a more open plan are which will provide a more serviceable interior suitable for the requirements of the daycare facility
