Yorkstone paving specification proposed to change at Eliza Yard, Ancoats

Summary

The applicant is proposing a non-material amendment to change the specification of the Yorkstone paving at Eliza Yard. A non-material amendment is a minor adjustment to an already-approved scheme that the council considers does not materially change the development. Eliza Yard sits within the Ancoats conservation area. Beehive Mill, a Grade II* listed building, is about a 1-minute walk away, and Union Street Bridge (Grade II listed) is also nearby. The type and finish of paving can matter in conservation areas, as it contributes to the character of the street. The change is limited to the paving specification only and is not expected to have a wide impact on the surrounding area.
