Summary

The applicant proposes changing the flat into a shared home for up to three people. No building work is described in the application summary.

The flat is in a semi-detached building dating from 1967 to 1975. Several protected old buildings on Dove Street are directly adjacent, and Scarcroft Primary School is a couple of minutes' walk away.

The change could slightly alter parking demand and day-to-day activity. Most surrounding properties are screened by other buildings, while 22 property fronts have a direct view of the site.
