This application sought permission to convert the former Chablis Cellar restaurant (at the time trading as the Saffron Indian Restaurant) at 19 and 21 Bank Street, Castletown, into a single apartment, and to erect an attached block of six further apartments. The scheme also included seven parking spaces and a communal bin store. The site sits on the corner of Bank and Hope Streets within a Conservation Area. The part of the site intended for car parking falls within an area designated as Residential. The officer's report identified over-development, parking arrangements, and the impact on neighbouring residents as the principal planning issues. The Planning Committee approved the application on 30 January 2006, with four conditions attached.
The Planning Committee approved the application in January 2006. The officer also recommended approval.
