The application proposes the change of the use of the building from storage purposes and the installation of an air conditioning system. It is proposed that it would operate on 8.30am and 6.30pm opening hours Monday to Saturday with the practice closed on Sundays.

No objection to the plans was made by council transport officers in their consultation response.

The council has set a deadline of February 15 for reaching a decision.
