5. No comment/neutral		6. Lack of detail
7. Decision already issued

Reason for objection:

The proposed development is located in land adjacent to 1 Corkran Road which is a building of townscape merit - this land, notwithstanding ownership, constitutes part of the setting of the locally listed heritage asset and accordingly, the loss of setting that would result if the application is approved, would result in a detrimental harm. The development of this piece of land would also also result in harm to the character of the CA.
The Conservation Area is characterised by large fronted plots, often within larger garden settings. The proposed development is of a small, narrow fronted building and, therefore, would not be in keeping with the characteristics of the CA.
Notwithstanding the architectural merits of the building , it was felt that the proposed front elevation was not in keeping with the overarching character of the CA.
