NIEA Historic Buildings are content with the proposal
9. Representations Consideration
No letters of support or objection have been received.
10. Planning Assessment and Other Material Considerations
Section 6 (4) of The Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 requires the Council to make planning
decisions in accordance with the local development plan, unless material considerations indicate
otherwise. The site is located within the Commercial Core of the City and within a designated
office development area as identified in Map 3 of the Derry Area Plan 2011. It is also within a
Designated Flats Zone as identified in Map FL 1 of the Derry Area Plan 2011. The site is a Grade
B1 listed building located within the Clarendon Street Conservation Area. This listed buildings
consent has therefore been assessed against the policy framework listed in paragraph 7 and all
other material considerations including consultation responses and the planning history of the
site. This application for listed buildings consent should also read in conjunction with full planning
application LA11/2015/0812/F.
The proposal is for the conversion of the existing 3 storey mid terrace building to provide 8no.
self-contained flats. The building is currently vacant but was last used as sheltered
accommodation which comprised single bedrooms with communal areas. There are six properties
within this terrace, four of which are listed including the adjacent building No. 65. There are no
changes proposed to the exterior of the building therefore it will respect the context and character
of the surrounding area and adjacent listed buildings. In terms of the internal alterations to the
building, HED Historic Buildings are content with the proposed scheme. The building is currently
vacant and its redevelopment will therefore secure the retention and upkeep of this important
listed building. The proposal is acceptable in accordance with Policy BH 7 of PPS 6 and the area
plan.
