The type 1 railings would be more appropriate without the decorative gold spirals as shown in the submitted photograph and the type 2 hooped railings would appear more attractive without the solid supporting vertical posts or using slimmer supporting posts such as do not detract from the overall continuity of the railings.
Surface water drainage
There must be no discharge of surface water to the main foul sewer.
Railing colour
The railings must be painted to match the timberwork on the Memorial Hall (presently black).
