Meeting of Area North Committee, Wednesday 26th February 2020 2.00 pm (Item 106.)

Minutes:

Proposal: Carrying out of internal and external alterations, including replacement front porch, two-storey side extension, first floor rear extension and conversion of end store to form an annex.

This application was presented and discussed in conjunction with the previous application 19/03252/HOU and comments made on that application also refer to this application.
