Proposal

Permission has been previously given for the conversion of the building into 3 flats. The previous application referred to 2 single bedroom flats and 1 three bedroom flats. This application is for 4 single bedroom flats. With both schemes the existing building volume does not change from that of the current building. With both schemes the total floor area of accommodation stays the same
