Planning
The site was most recently used as a care home facility, with an integrated managers flat.
The proposal seeks to repurpose the existing building to create a total of five residential dwellings, each designed with two bedroom. The layout is configured such that three of these dwellings will be located on the ground floor, while the remaining two units will be situated on the first floor. Notably, one of the ground floor units will be accessible and suitable for occupancy by disabled persons.
Layout
The proposed alterations minimise structural work to the existing to create an efficient space but incorporating the appropriate upgrade in insulation and fire regulations expected of a modern housing development.
The internal layout has been thoughtfully reconfigured by maintaining the existing external architectural form, with alterations predominantly confined to the interior spaces. This approach facilitates the creation of five self-contained residential apartments, each designed to meet the demands of modern living while respecting the building's original character and appearance.
There will be 2 No. disabled car parking spaces and 6 No. secure cycle stands with electric charging points for 2 cars.
