Councillor Bacon left the Council Chamber during consideration of this item having declared a prejudicial interest.
The Assistant Planning Manager presented the application for the variation of condition 2 (approved plans) of Planning Permission HS/FA/19/00157 (Conversion of existing (D1) doctors surgery to form 9 x flats including external alterations (materials and finishes). Proposed amendments include a change to window and wall colours; replacement of tile hanging to bays with render; installation of gates and minor internal layout changes.
Councillors were shown plans and images of the proposed development. The Assistant Planning Manager advised that Condition 1 needed to be amended to 3 years from the date of the original application and not the date of this permission.

Some concerns were referring to the possible ventilation on the external walls of the building. That was addressed in the conditions to the application.
