Proposal
Temporary change of use from Class C3 Dwellinghouse to Class E Commercial for a period of approximately 12 weeks whilst the Charity's existing office at 95 Sheen Road is refurbished and reconfigured. Temporary office accommodation is required for the 5 staff currently based at 95 Sheen Rd whilst these works are completed. We are a charity providing housing for people over 65 years of age living in the borough. Our current office at 95 provides easy access to all our housing estates, and so we would like to relocate to 34 Hickeys on a temporary basis as this location also enables easy access to our other sites and would require no alterations for use as an office on this very temporary basis. On completion of the works at 95 Sheen Rd, number 34 will revert to being an almshouse providing affordable accommodation for those in need. Data via plota.co.uk
