Permission for the demolition of the former La Taverna restaurant on site has already been granted. Here, one two-bedroom and two three-bedroom homes would be built under LNT’s plans.

All residents would have access to 25 car parking spaces, including three disabled and six EV, and eight cycle spaces. Mobility scooter storage and charging would also be available in the reception.

S&D Garritt is the noise consultant for the scheme. Calabrian is the environmental consultant, and Brooks the ecological consultant.
