The site extends to approximately 0.15 hectares (0.36 acres) and is bounded on three sides by residential properties and their associated gardens with a ragstone wall fronting the entrance off Dental Street. The site is of sloping topography and with significant level changes resulting in piled foundations being recommended for the proposed development.
