Issue details
Margate Harbour Arm Roof and Railings
The building is a traditional coastal structure with masonry walls and a concrete roof, which has deteriorated due to exposure to the harsh environment and lack of maintenance, causing water damage. Over time, the building has been repurposed from storage units to various uses, such as galleries and bars, but the original structure is inadequate for these functions, resulting in damp issues. Increased public use of the building's flat roofs has led to safety concerns, and planning permission has been granted to replace the roof, add insulation, and install handrails.
