Partial demolition of existing building (rear part) and construction of
a rear/side extension at second, third and fourth floor (roof) level
incorporating a lift shaft, construction of a rear dormer window
extension and the undertaking of associated external alterations to
facilitate, (i) the change of use of an existing vacant public house
(Use Class A4) at ground-floor and basement level to provide two retail
units (Use Class A1) and, (ii) the creation of 7no. 1 x bed flats on the
first, second, third and fourth floors (Use Class C3). (Partially
retrospective)
This proposal creates two sensibly sized shops on the ground floor and a
central entry to the flats. Whilst regretting the loss of a public
house, it has long been vacant. The society has no objection.
