Property details

| Access | Accessed via town centre road network so no restrictions. |
| Access restrictions | The building is temporarily empty and whilst empty should be available from approx. 8am to 7pm. Weekend would need to be by negotiation. A Block adjoins the still operational B Block Council building so any filming must not disruption council business. |
| Noise | Town centre location so some traffic noise. |
| Parking | Approximately 12 immediately outside, though availability needs to be checked, so on-street parking on The Crescent and two nearby council-run pay-and-display car parks. Underground car park on-site but space in high demand. |
| Parking detail | Small number of spaces and underground car park are part of the County Hall complex, publicly accessed pay-and-display car parking nearby. |
