PLANS for a new “self-contained” flat have been submitted.

An application proposing the conversion of the first floor of 123-125 Higher Parr Street, Fingerpost to a “self-contained” flat has been put forward.

In the planning statement, it says the development would provide new housing, in the form of one two-bedroomed flat, in a “sustainable location” that would “not be harmful” in respect of the character and appearance of the area, residential amenity or highway safety.

It adds: “The proposed dwelling would provide a modest but highly valuable contribution towards the council’s housing land supply.

“The proposals comply with both local and national planning policy.

“The applicant seeks to work proactively with the LPA and looks forward to positive discussions regarding the scheme.”
