Reviewed build intelligence
What the documents establish
Government document review
The July decision amends parent 24/60466 to provide ground-floor commercial space and 12 tourism guest bedrooms upstairs. Those rooms are not permanent homes.
2 official documents inspected · Checked 2026-09-07 · Official file index
The amendment provides 12 guest bedrooms within the parent building
Amendment decision for parent 24/60466
What the evidence says
The 28 July decision amends permission 24/60466, retaining commercial use at ground floor and adding 12 guest bedrooms on the upper two floors. Condition 1 carries forward the parent terms and effective period except where amended; condition 3 restricts the accommodation to tourism and prohibits permanent residence.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Commercial and hospitality suppliers should follow the changed internal and facade scope without counting 12 guest rooms as 12 additional homes.
What is not established
Final grant, construction progress, business opening and housing supply are not established.

Conditions 1 and 3
The comparison drawing increases total internal area by 2.5 m²
July-submitted comparison drawing, subject to the decision conditions
What the evidence says
Drawing 3100 compares the parent’s commercial layouts with the guest-accommodation proposal. Its labelled totals are 486.6 m² granted and 489.1 m² proposed gross internal area: a 2.5 m² difference, alongside substantial internal subdivision for bedrooms and en-suites.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Fit-out teams should price the change of layout and room services; the whole 489.1 m² is not additional floor area beyond the parent.
What is not established
Final construction details, installed sanitaryware and equipment procurement are not established.

The proposed layout separates guest, public and staff bicycle parking
July-submitted access and cycle-parking layout
What the evidence says
The submitted drawing labels 12 secure guest bicycle spaces, six public bicycle spaces and two secure staff spaces serving the ground-floor commercial use. The plan also shows separate commercial and guest entrances.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Cycle-storage and entrance suppliers can distinguish the three users and coordinate secure access arrangements.
What is not established
Installed stands, access-control specification and compliance agreement are not established.

Shopfront and signage details require council agreement
Condition on the July amendment decision
What the evidence says
Condition 4 requires external signage details to be agreed before business begins, with static internal illumination where lighting is needed. It also ties signage, pilasters, plinths and street-front fenestration to the council’s shopfront design guide unless otherwise agreed.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Facade, glazing and sign suppliers need the agreed shopfront detail before settling manufacture and lighting.
What is not established
An agreed signage submission, final grant and installed frontage are not established.
