The shop is presently used as a shop. Proposed is its use as an estate agent's. There are other estate agencies within the Conservation Area as this site is - Dean Wood at 6, Castle Street and Ashbrooks at 8, Arbory Street. This use is therefore not unacceptable in such areas. In fact the proposal is to allow Ashbrooks to relocate. No approval is hereby approved to any change to or installation of new signage. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 05.08.2005 ### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal C : Conditions for approval N : Notes attached to conditions R : Reasons for refusal - : Notes attached to refusals C 1.
