PROTECTED STRUCTURE: The application seeks permission for an amendment to the pemitted development Reg. Ref. 3442/16 as extended. Permission was sought for a restaurant use in a unit of 65 sq.m facing Earl Street North. Condition 4 of the 2016 permission required that the unit should be in retail use. Construction is now nearing completion and permission is sought that this unit be used for restaurant use as originally applied for. It will now be used as a restaurant in association with the adjoining corner unit facing Earl Stret North and Earl Place (111sq.m ground floor with supporting basement area of 80 sq.m.) already approved as a cafe/restaurant, so as to form a single licensed restaurant with a floor area of 256 sq.m.
