CA/6 Demolition in Conservation Areas
Discourages demolition of fabric contributing positively to Conservation Areas. Officer assessed the front elevation rebuild and shopfront replacement as acceptable since already approved previously and matching original features with sliding sashes, avoiding loss of character.
Housing Policy 17
Permits conversions to flats if adequate amenity space, pleasant outlook from principal rooms, and parking where practical. Officer found limited but acceptable outlook and space typical for town centre, with public compensatory areas, and parking relaxed due to site constraints.
Strategic Plan parking standards discretion
Allows relaxation of 1 space per one-bed flat for Conservation Area benefits, re-use of historic buildings, preservation of streetscape, and proximity to bus routes without unacceptable on-street parking. Applied due to town centre location, public car parks nearby, and no expected parking increase.
Policy 5.2 The refurbishment and amalgamation of properties within the town will be encouraged
Encourages refurbishment and amalgamation of properties in town. Supported the renovation of the rundown building into three flats.
Policy 5.4 A policy of refurbishment and amalgamation of existing properties in the Conservation Area will apply
Applies refurbishment policy in Conservation Area to retain historic areas via alternative uses. Proposal enhances the area by restoring the derelict building.
