Without this, it was not possible to gauge the impact on the Conservation Area.<br />The granted application also includes the refurbishment of the end stable, which, along with an attached residential caravan parked on the site, has been used as living accommodation for years. The applicant also owns the buildings which contain the barber and florist. He has offered to "tidy up" the Mercy Terrace "gardens" of those properties.<br />As Mercy Terrace is a "light industrial" area, and is deserted at night, it is difficult to see who would be attracted to use the ground floor space of an evening, particularly in winter. Use for religious purposes has been excluded from the permission.Geoffreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024110476711269686.post-61945627613236977572012-05-28T10:05:55.576+01:002012-05-28T10:05:55.576+01:00probably not. and when it isn't used as such, ...probably not. and when it isn't used as such, it'll make a lovely tesco express.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024110476711269686.post-11114652599797945892012-05-27T08:47:57.000+01:002012-05-27T08:47:57.000+01:00is there really a need in the area for a 'mult...is there really a need in the area for a 'multipurpose ground floor hall'?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
