Official record

Development description

The proposed development seeks permission for modifications to the previously granted permission (reg. Ref. Sd23a/0260 and reg. Ref. Sd25a/0116w), specifically relating to block a. The modifications comprise the addition of 9 no. Apartment units (6 no. One-bedroom units and 3 no. Two-bedroom units) at third-floor level, resulting in the fourth floor becoming the set-back floor. The proposal will increase the overall height of block a from five to six storeys, and the total number of apartments from 34 to 43, now consisting of 25 no. One-bedroom units and 18 no. Two-bedroom units. Minor elevational amendments are proposed to reflect the inclusion of the additional floor. No changes are proposed to the as-granted 8 no. Duplex units or 38 no. Terraced houses. Accordingly, the overall total number of residential units within the development will increase to 89 no. Associated site works include revised bicycle storage arrangements, minor alterations to the site layout to accommodate additional surface car parking spaces, and all other ancillary site development works.
