What’s proposed

PROTECTED STRUCTURE: The development will consist of amendments to a previous permission (Reg. Ref: 2881/21) as follows: Construction of a basement plant area (c. 71m2) and access stairs. Enlargement of the permitted bin store from 16m2 to 18m2. The permitted entrance lobby to the west of the building is to be replaced with an extension of 29m2 which will provide a revised dishwashing area to the south of the building. The internal layout is altered to allow a revised kitchen and dining area layout. Minor alterations at roof level are proposed including new ventilation ducts, new louvre wall, the addition of a handrail, new sky lights, replacement of the existing non-original roof slates with new natural roof slates, and the raising of the flat roof parapet. And all associated works. The proposal is located within a site which has an approved IE (Industrial Emissions) Licence (Ref No. P0301-04)
