Planning application

30 Plessey Road Blyth Northumberland NE24 3DD

Granted Northumberland National Park 26/01485/COU Change of Use

Works: Extension

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

Proposal

Retrospective change of use of an existing first-floor one-bedroom flat (Use Class C3) to a small administrative office (Use Class E(c)). The property was previously in extremely poor condition and vacant. Internal refurbishment and minor internal reconfiguration works have now been completed to provide office accommodation for administrative purposes. No external alterations, extensions, or increase in floor area have been undertaken. The unit operates as a small-scale administrative office with low staff numbers and no visitor activity. The proposal has brought a vacant and dilapidated unit back into beneficial use and significantly improved its condition through refurbishment. Miller Wallace Residential has recently renovated another nearby residential property within the area, with a further residential renovation currently underway. These projects will provide refurbished housing stock that exceeds the single residential unit subject to this application.
