The Bishopston Society is very concerned about this conversion proposal into three flats. The internal arrangements are not satisfactory in terms of access, fire escape, daylighting and do not comply with Building Regulations. We consider that this application is overdevelopment and totally inappropriate. We recommend refusal.
