PERMISSION

Description of application - Erection of additional floor to provide four new units; 1 x 2-bed and 3 x 1-bed.External alterations to existing building to include new windows, doors, and private terraces.

Ward Member, Councillor Kira Gabbert, expressed her and her Ward colleagues’ dissatisfaction at the relevant change-of-office-to-residential-use legislation which led to this kind of inappropriate development to be allowed in the first place. Although she welcomed the reduction in units, in her opinion the proposed development remained ill-suited for the location and she abstained from the vote.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION be GRANTED as recommended, subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the report of the Chief Planner.
