Proposed Site Plans
The proposed plans for the site include converting the former club into 4 self contained 2 bed flats, a 2 bed cottage and development to the car park for 3 town houses, all with parking. The site lends itself to the change of use based on the demand for the area in terms of residential lettings or holiday lets.

Planning Permission
Planning Permission – pre-application

Proposal – Pre-application enquiry: 3no. 2 bed houses to the south and conversion of existing club to 5 units.

Planning Ref – 25/00024/PREAPP

Summary
It is considered that the proposal in its current form is unlikely to be supportable in planning terms. However following the pre-application meeting, our client had a constructive conversation with the planning officer. The overall tone was positive, and they feel confident that a scheme could be developed that would gain council support, subject to a few key points. One of which was to reduce the houses in the carpark from 3 to 2 which our client has done.
