Planning Circular 2/88 - The Conversion of Buildings into Flats
The policy requires all flats to have a pleasant, clear outlook from principal rooms and access to external space for amenity, clothes-drying, refuse storage, and parking. The officer assessed that six units in the basement and ground floor could not meet these standards due to cramped layout and poor outlook, especially in the basement. The applicant was asked to demonstrate compliance but did not satisfy the requirement.
no objection to the application by Mr Jonathan Carruthers for the change of use of the ground floor and basement being converted up to 6 single flats, or a combination of singles and doubles
Ramsey Town Commissioners requested deferral pending additional information on unit layout, parking, and drainage; DOT Highways objected due to lack of vehicle parking provision; Morris/Rushbrook initially supported but later objected citing building non-conformances and lack of restoration plans.
