Phoenix House 2 Sterling Way Tingley Wakefield WF3 1BU

Proposal

Change of use of the existing enclosed roof-level plant room accommodation at Phoenix House from Commercial, Business and Service use within Use Class E to form two self-contained residential dwellinghouses within Use Class C3. The proposed accommodation comprises: ? Apartment 61: 1-bedroom apartment with a Gross Internal Area of 56.8 sq.m; and ? Apartment 62: 1-bedroom, 1-person apartment with a Gross Internal Area of 46.5 sq.m. The roof-level plant room formed part of the lawful Class E office use of Phoenix House and has not subsequently changed use. The application relates solely to the change of use of the existing enclosed plant room accommodation and the associated internal residential layouts. The remaining 60 apartments within Phoenix House are authorised by the separate Class MA prior approval granted under Leeds City Council reference 25/07072/DPD. The completed development would therefore comprise 62 apartments in total. The two proposed apartments require new external window openings to provide adequate natural light and outlook. Those external works do not form part of this Class MA prior approval application and are the subject of a separate full planning application submitted concurrently.
