for minor amendments to previously approved planning permission No. 191296, pertaining to Block B and Block C only: Block B - reducing its size, height and location within the site, (previously comprising of a 3 storey building with 4th floor setback accommodating 18 no. 1, 2 & 3 bed apartments. It will now comprise of the following: 12 no. 1 bed studio apartments, at first and second floor levels only with a communal social space at ground floor level, including w.c facilities and only the circulation shaft setback at 3rd floor level. This change is as a result of the change in circumstances of the adjoining site to the west, previously to be (co-joined) residential. The reduction in the scale of the proposed revised Block B results in a variation to the previously approved parking and landscape layout. Block C - moving the block further north away from the canal to allow for fire tender access to the rear and sides, rearranging the internal layout with no increase in apartment numbers (11 No.), eliminating the angled elevation to the south east and the removal of the car parking from the basement. Block A and Block D are to remain as per the original grant of permission. The proposed development will still be accessed off Bridge Street as per the original grant of permission via a new vehicular entrance. The proposed development provides for all associated site development works, boundary treatments & bin storage (No change). The site is occupied by The Lion House (former public house) which is a Protected Structure (RPS Ref. No. B05-20) on Church Street.
