Clubhouse kitchen refurbishment — concept design sign-off

Shall the concept design for the Montrose clubhouse kitchen refurbishment be approved to proceed to detailed design?

John Frulani Architects, with interior designer Rosie Anderson, have prepared a concept replacing the 1989 kitchen with a modern open-pass arrangement increasing covers from 60 to 110, supporting growth in visitor dining and event hire. Estimated capex £620k.
