The construction of a detached 2 storey, one bedroom house to the rear/side of the existing house with pedestrian access to Jamestown Avenue, consisting of an open plan kitchen/dining and living area on the ground floor and a bedroom with shower room and storage area on the first floor.

The development will consist of the demolition of a vacant, end-of-terrace shop unit to allow for the construction of 2 no. townhouse type dwellings. Together, these will approximate the existing building envelope but will include front porches and ground floor extensions to the rear to make space for living, kitchen, and dining uses. The first floor and attic level will consist of a total 3 no. bedrooms in each unit, the uppermost of which will be contained under a new pitched roof with dormer windows to the rear. The front and rear outdoor spaces will serve as private outdoor gardens.

The development will consist of conversion/change of use of a redundant communal facility within a sheltered housing scheme to form a 1 bed 2 person apartment and a further development of two 1 bed 2 person apartments as a new build extension constructed over two floors at the gable end of the existing building. The existing A Block bin store will be relocated to facilitate this. The new works are to include: Change of use of a redundant communal facility will form a 62.9 sq.m. 1bed 2person apartment. A further ground and first floor extension will form two further 56.88 sq.m. 1bed 2person apartments. Access to the upper apartment will be via a new external staircase and lift. The new build extension will be located on the gable end, to the eastern boundary of A Block. The existing bin store enclosure will be demolished, and a new bin store erected external to the eastern boundary within lands owned by ALONE. New security fencing will enclose this store. Level access will be offered to all three units' front doors and new rear patios. Existing external walls will be externally insulation clad and rendered. The new build portion of the development will be traditional block and cavity wall insulation construction with external self-coloured render. The roof of the extension will be a flat timber deck with nominal falls for drainage and finished in a polymeric membrane above rigid insulation. Existing car parking, vehicular and pedestrian access points and communal clothes drying areas are unaffected by the proposal.
