The site comprises the curtilage of the shop next to the Baptist Church on Broadway.
The application proposes that
(a) the ground-floor should be used as, and altered to facilitate use as, a restaurant; and that
(b) each of the two upper floors should be used as a flat.
Whilst the uses are themselves acceptable in this area, the issues which arise are
(a) parking provision;
(b) access to the flats; and
(c) environment for the flats.
I advised the architect of the above issues, but cannot trace a response (as yet). Inclined to recommend refusal.
