“The proposal is for internal and external alterations to the late 19th Century villa (Lansdowne House), gate lodge, and boundary walls. Demolition of the listed stable block and partial demolition of the 20th Century buildings are also proposed. An opening will be formed in the listed northern boundary wall.”

“The proposed development will create 48 Extra Care units through the restoration and conversion of the listed buildings. Lansdowne House, the first floor to be converted to extra care accommodation, 3 x 2-bed extra care apartments designed to the specific needs of older people. On the first floor there will be also a guest suite to accommodate the residents visiting relatives.”

“The site is approximately 0.89 hectares located in a predominantly residential part of the city. The site was originally built as a private residence set within a large garden ground, and laterally used by St Georges School for Girls, supplementing their main campus nearby.
