PLANNING
Pre-application advice has been received from Great Yarmouth Borough Council to consider the change of use from office to residential use (three number dwellings with associated parking) under Use Class C3. Under reference 06/24/0168/PAE.
The site falls within the development limits of Gorleston where development will be supported in principle.
The conclusion is that conversion of the property to three number townhouses would be supported but would require a full planning application. To include a full set of existing and proposed plans including floor plans and elevations, etc.
For further information please contact Great Yarmouth Borough Council’s planning department on 01493 846795. The planning officer is lucy.smith@great-yarmouth.gov.uk.
