Planning application

Oliver House 16 - 17 High Street Cathays Cardiff CF10 1AX

Granted Cardiff 24/02980/VAR Variation of conditions

Works: New dwelling Major scheme

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within five years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Change of Use of vacant upper office floors to provide 15 apartments with roof garden. (Approved 23 July 2024- 23/02435/FUL):- Variation of Conditions 2 (Approved Plans and Documents) and omission of Condition 6 (Replacement Rooftop Rail/ Balustrade) of 23/02435/FUL to amend the approved scheme as follows: 1) Relocate the permitted cycle storage; 2) Approved green roof specification to be replaced with sedum roof; 3) Other minor reconfigurations; 4) Omission of Condition 6 as the proposed alterations will result in no persons occupying the rooftop and therefore the requirement to submit details of a replacement perimeter handrail and glass balustrade is no longer necessary.
