Proposal

Prior Notification - Convert the corner shop into a studio flat, which would give the area much needed affordable housing. This conversion would not require any structural work. Currently at the back of the shop there is a pre-existing internal door leading into a pre-existing room with a toilet and wash basin and another room suitable for a large shower/wet room. There would be no change to the existing utilities or drainage. There is already plenty of adequate natural light in the habitable rooms due to a front window and good size opening side window.
