PLANNING MATTERS - Adams Yard:

This site lies between Dolphin Yard, now redeveloped, and the Seed Warehouse. The recent application for residential reuse of this site is just the latest in a long- running sequence from a number of owners or prospective owners. We objected on the grounds that the layout of the units was such that some of them would have windows on only one elevation a mere two metres from the rear wall of adjoining units, leading to sub-standard living conditions. The District Council agreed with this view, which had also been expressed by the Town Council, and refused the application.
