While the gatehouse is an original and handsome building, the gatehouse extension is a later addition which connects the Indian Community Centre. It is of a low quality, and it is suggested to mark it as a negative building.
Its removal may help to improve the entrance sequence into the site, since currently it creates a long barrier along the only access route, with little merit.
This is also the place to declare on the merit of the existing coach houses on the site as a unique feature which will make a positive contribution to the site. This will support the intention to keep these buildings, although may not appear in other appraisals.
