The site is a former house which is currently vacant after being converted into a commercial property, with the ground floor remaining registered for this use as part of the application, with space for two businesses.

Documents state each of the four bedrooms will have an en-suite and exceed the minimum size requirements set out by the national space standards for a single person room.
