Officer's Report

The site represents the curtilage of HM Prison situated on the corner of Victoria Road, Upper Duke's Road and Victoria Avenue. The application proposes the removal of three rooflights on the main roof.

The rooflights do not contribute to the architectural quality of the building and in any case there are larger lights already on the roof.

The apertures are to be covered over to match the remainder of the roof.
