(A) Erection of three linked dwellings fronting Harrison Street and (B) Erection of three linked dwellings with arched access to rear.

The Development Control Manager reported that the County Archaeologist recommended an archaeological evaluation of the site, including a trial trench, before the commencement of the development.  The Development Control Manager advised that a dispute between the owners of this site and the owners of an adjoining property was a civil matter but it was hoped that this would be resolved before planning permission was issued.

The Chairman, speaking in his capacity as Local Member, noted the constraints of the plot of land but felt that, subject to a number of issues being addressed, the proposal represented an imaginative use of the site.
