Stepping into the upper level of Amy Renter’s building on Norfolk Avenue is like stepping back to the 1930s. One-hundred-year-old wood covers the floor and surrounds the doorways and windows,
There would be six one-bed flats and one two-bed house. Planning consultants AAIMS Consulting say the building has fallen into a state of disrepair and the site has become overgrown with vegetation. The development would be car-free due to it being so close to the town centre and in a high frequency bus route zone. However, the developer says it could provide one car parking space for the house if preferred but this would reduce the amount of outside space for tenants. The plans have been submitted after pre-application discussions with RBC’s planning team, with changes made to the application following feedback from council officers.
