Summary
The proposal would convert an existing building at 18 Forbes Street into a single home. Works include enlarging windows to create doors, re-rendering a gable wall, re-slating the roof, and fitting a rooflight. A separate two-storey outbuilding on the same site would be converted into a parking garage with storage above. A shed would be re-roofed and clad to form a car port. New hard and soft landscaping is also proposed. Skene Square School is right next door. Construction works could temporarily cause noise and disruption close to the school. Once complete, the site would function as a private home with off-street parking.
