Change of use of space allocated within Block A on Ashley Road for medical centre or offices to create 8 additional flats at ground and first floors (4 x 1-bed, 4 x 2-bed). Proposal involves substitution of door with a window on the rear elevation at ground floor level.

This is the second attempt to secure a change of use to residential for what was intended to be the new home of the Ashley Surgery, the first have been refused and dismissed on appeal some 12 months ago.

The Society believes it is still premature to decide that the premises will never be used for medical purposes as originally planned, with the proposed additional residential space not outweighing the loss of community benefit from a medical centre on the site. We have written accordingly.
