Proposed development

of the following: (a) to retain the existing layout of the building as a single unit with no subdivision. The existing layout as a single unit is inconsistent with the planning permission Reg. Ref: 06/21048 (Ennis Town Council reference), which permitted subdivision of the building into 6 No. separate units; (b) minor changes to the internal configurations to the approved layout under Reg. Ref: 06/21048 to accommodate the use as a single unit; and (c) minor changes to the external elevations including reconfiguration of the glazed screens to the North and West elevations, revised door and window layouts to the West and South elevations and new high level windows to the North elevation (front elevation). Planning PERMISSION is sought for: (a) minor internal amendments comprising of insertion of doors to existing cores; (b) External works including car parking (54 No. spaces), refuse storage works, HGV turning areas and associated and ancillary works, all as previously permitted but not carried out under Reg. Ref: 06/48; and (c) Provision of a new second floor level of circa 543 sq.m gross for plant/storage use associated with the existing use. This will increase the total gross floorspace of the building to circa 4,455 sq.m. There is no change proposed to the use permitted under Reg. Ref: 06/21048 (Ennis Town Council reference).

What happens next
