The development proposed is described on the application form as the ‘demolition of existing building & redevelopment of site for commercial use at ground floor &residential use over 6 floors (7 x 1-bed; 6 x 2-bed & 5 x 3-bed flats) & communal space at 7th floor, together with associated landscaping and cycle parking – this has been dismissed.
Given the context above, and based on all that I have read and seen, the main issues are:
- i. the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area,
- ii. whether or not the scheme would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants,
- iii. the effect of the proposal on the efficient operation of the surrounding highway network,
- iv. whether or not appropriate provision is made for affordable housing, and
- v. whether or not appropriate provision is made for carbon dioxide reduction associated with the development proposed
