revision to site layout as granted by Planning Register Reference 03/9744 (Retention of 7 no. two bedroom apartments at first floor level with fire escapes and alterations to existing living accommodation, permission for car park, open space and refuse collection area).

  • The application materially contravenes a condition of a previous grant (03/9744) and lacks sufficient evidence of the applicant's legal interest to carry out the works on the subject lands.
