Summary
The applicant proposes a lift through a floor inside 31 The Strand. It could create an opening between two levels and need related internal building work. The property is in Topsham's protected historic area. Ten protected old buildings stand within about a 1-minute walk, including 30-32 The Strand, directly adjacent. The work could improve access inside the home. The council may also need details showing how old floors, ceilings and rooms could be protected.
