• The works to the front elevation will enhance the character of the conservation area and improve the traditional appearance of this significant Sea-front property.
(There is support for the works to the front elevation and no objections.)• The proposed rear extension will be an improvement on the existing dilapidated extension. It will not cause significant harm to neighbour amenity from loss of light or privacy. The new wooden design of the extension will clearly demark the new from the old and will be complementary to the original.
• The proposed internal re-configuration to two self-contained apartments will improve the quality of accommodation at this property, providing each apartment with private facilities.
• While the cliff slope behind is potentially subject to instability, evidence has been submitted that any actual or potential instability relevant to this development can be dealt with through appropriate measures.
