A comprehensive plan has been made to change the windows at a landmark Worthing building.

Adur and Worthing Councils has submitted a planning application for the Grade II listed Pavilion Theatre and adjoining Pavilion Atrium. This is accompanied by an application for listed building consent.

The proposed works include the replacement of 18 defective single-glazed, metal-framed windows with new double-glazed metal-framed windows to match the existing appearance in the Pavilion Theatre.

It also includes the replacement of single-glazing with new double-glazing within the existing eight large timber-framed glazed screens in the Pavilion Atrium, also known as the Denton Lounge.

In addition, an internal secondary-glazing system would be installed to 27 existing windows in the dressing rooms and back-of-house areas.

Tavis Russell, the council's building surveyor, is acting as the agent.

The heritage and design statement says: “The proposal has been carefully designed to balance the need for improved thermal efficiency with the preservation of the building’s historic features.

“By enhancing thermal performance, the theatre will continue to serve as a welcoming venue whilst reducing the theatres energy consumption and carbon footprint, aligning with the council’s and theatre’s environmental commitments.”
