The application proposes the demolition of an existing joiner’s workshop at the site between Deveron and George Street to make way for two blocks fronting a courtyard space.

The statement added: “This will be achieved by the adoption of a traditional gable proportion and the articulation of the roof-scape with dormer windows to the upper floors and chimney features.”
