Minutes:
The Planning Officer spoke to the terms of the report. The application property comprises a Category B Listed Building located within a residential area within the village of Rhu. Formerly used as a dwellinghouse, the property is currently being used for short term letting. The proposed works include internal alterations to the first floor comprising minor alterations to the layout in order to create 3 no. en-suites. They also include the replacement of existing lead work with code 6 lead and it is considered that code 6 lead is an appropriate specification to the pre-existing lead work. Thirdly it is proposed to replace a total of 5 no. existing windows. This work has been implemented and the Planning Authority is satisfied that the windows shown on the submitted drawings are a genuine ‘like for like’ in relation to the existing windows that have been retained elsewhere in the building.
It is considered that the works satisfactorily preserve and conserve the architectural and historic character of the listed building in accordance with relevant national and local policy on conserving the historic environment and associated technical guidance and the application for Listed Building Consent was recommended for approval subject to conditions and reasons set out in the report of handling.

3.
Notwithstanding
the effect of Condition 2, no development shall commence with regard to the
internal alterations until full construction details of the proposed internal
wall partitions have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning
Authority. The details should include:
(i)
a
schedule of existing (or pre-existing) internal architectural fixtures and
features (including photographs) at the locations where the proposed new
partition walls abut the existing (or pre-existing)
internal building fabric;
(ii)
fully
notated plan and section details at a scale of not less than 1:20 showing the
partition wall construction where the intervention abuts any identified
existing/pre-existing internal features including cornices; skirtings
or other applied architectural mouldings; and,
(iii)
a
conservation construction method statement relating to the methods to be
adopted in the formation of any new partition walls to retain the identified
architectural features intact and to ensure that the new partition walls are
capable of removal at a later date without any impact upon the existing
internal fabric, fixtures and features.
Thereafter the development shall be completed in accordance with the approved details or such alternatives as may be agreed in writing with the Planning Authority.
Reason: In order to ensure that the proposed new partition walls do not compromise internal features, fixtures or fittings of architectural or historic value and to ensure that, in accordance with good conservation practice, that the modern partition walls are capable of subsequent removal without having compromised such internal features. In the interests of protecting historic fabric of the listed building.
