Planning committee
Decided by BCP Eastern BCP Planning Committee on 20 Aug 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the scheme reuses a vacant building, provides housing and would not cause unacceptable harm, subject to conditions.
- Most representations objected, raising concerns about parking, traffic, density, the building’s appearance and the conservation area.
- The Committee voted 8–1 to grant permission, adding a condition concerning future lighting and wildlife protection.
