Application approved
Town hall planners used their delegated powers to approve an application by the council to demolish empty buildings on South King Street and Albert Road, and use the site for temporary car parking.
Temporary permission has been granted for a period of up to three years, with the land earmarked for housing development in the longer term. The cost of the project will be £600,000, but the development will save £160,000 in annual running costs for the buildings, as well as bringing in additional parking revenue.
“Socially, the proposed demolition of the buildings are required to facilitate the council’s longer term vision for housing delivery as set out in the emerging Local Plan. ”
