Permission for amendments to part of a permitted development previously approved under ref. no. 90/510070. These amendments will result in the provision of a new single storey dwelling and all associated site development works. This new dwelling will be located on a brownfield site between existing units 8 and 9. This will bring the total number of residential units in the scheme up to 38 from the 37 units built under the original planning permission
