Planning application
16 North Road Stevenage Herts SG1 4AL
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
16 North Road is a specimen of the 1914 vintage and one of two remaining substantial properties on North Road set in a 1/3rd acre site site the Lister Hospital. The demise comprises a three story residential house of some 5,000sq/ft and two story offices of 2,000sq/ft. We are contemplating a conversion to a nursery and wish to have advice from SBC as to the acceptability. The property has a 'U' shape drive that offers good traffic management - with an 'in' and 'out' onto North Road, there is also parking for eight cars. The configuration of the property offers ideal accommodation for adaptation to a nursery covering all ages and abilities. We are interested to know if this use is acceptable within current SBC plans and policies. Also, if a planning application would likely be recommended for approval or rejection?
