P2025/2445/FUL - Full Planning Application VALIDATED

Proposal

Change of use from Class E g (i) (offices) to Class F1(a) (education) and provision of cycle storage. RE-CONSULTATION: THE APPLICATION REPRESENTS A DEPARTURE FROM THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (the site is in a CAZ/Angel Town Centre/Baron Street PEL and the proposal would result in the loss of office floorspace without satisfying the requirements of Policy B3 and Appendix 1 of the Islington Strategic Development Management Policies 2023).
