The Site

1.1 The site is a parcel of land which lies between Stanley Mount and Circular Road. The site lies beside 18, Stanley Mount - a relatively new three storey building with a pedestrian door and vehicular garage door alongside with two floors of windows above. To the north, across Stanley Mount is the rear of 5, Stanley Road, a traditional two storey dwelling.

1.2 To the rear are the backs of numbers 19 and 21, Circular Road, three storey properties.

1.3 The site currently accommodates a garage/workshop with a floor of accommodation above.

The Proposal

2.1 Proposed is the demolition of the existing building and its replacement with a new building of similar orientation but 0.5m taller and 2.5m less long at full height. The new building will accommodate a single dwelling with a double garage at ground floor level, accessed from Stanley Mount. Above this will be two floors of accommodation, the top floor partly contained within the roof and accommodating a lounge, dining area, kitchen and wc on the first floor and three bedrooms and bathroom accommodation on the top floor.

2.2 The elevation facing towards 19 and 21, Circular Road has two patio areas and a window which serves a bathroom.

2.3 The elevation fronting onto Stanley Mount will have two garage doors on the ground floor level and two patio doors with Juliet balconies on the fits floor and two vertically proportioned windows above. The building has a chamfered edge to the corner of Stanley Mount and Circular Road which accommodates a door at ground floor level and a window above. A projecting hanging sign is shown above that with "The Boat House" upon it.

2.4 The side elevation will have three pitched roofed dormers at roof level and two rows of windows below.

2.5 There will be 10m between the main rear elevation and the rear elevation of numbers 19 and 21, Circular Road.
