Demolition of a house in a protected historic area near Cove

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

This application asks for permission to knock down an existing house at Shore Road, Cove. The property sits in a protected historic area, which means the council must consider whether the demolition would harm the look and feel of the area. The site is in a quiet, largely shielded setting. Only properties to the north-east have a direct line of sight to the site. A bus stop is about a 1-minute walk away, and a fire station is about a 5-10 minute walk. Demolishing a house in a protected historic area is a significant step. The council will want to know why demolition is needed and what, if anything, is planned for the land afterwards.

What you can do

Comments must be submitted before the decision deadline.
