Documents submitted with the application describe the building as a collection of modular structures joined by metal connections.
The nursery contains timber-framed walls, floors and windows, alongside plasterboard ceilings, suspended ceiling tiles, linoleum flooring and other fixtures and fittings.
An accompanying survey report notes that some areas of the building could not be fully accessed during inspections because the site was due to be reoccupied, while access beneath parts of the structure was restricted.
The report states that asbestos-containing materials should be presumed to be present in areas that were not fully inspected until proven otherwise.
