Proposed development

1. Amendments to the retail unit previously permitted under Planning Permissions Ref. 25/60356, comprising a reduction in gross floor area from 910sq.m to 890 sq.m. 2.

The proposed development is located within the later single-storey rear extension and does not include any works to the Protected Structure or its historic fabric
