The Committee then gave consideration to the third application on the agenda, number 148308, seeking permission to change the use and convert the existing workshop/storage building into one dwelling and one apartment, Oxford Street, Market Rasen. The Officer introduced the application, she gave a short presentation comprising of photographs and a site location plan; she highlighted the surrounding properties and courtyard location relative to the proposed development. In terms of parking, it was explained that daytime parking was restricted on Oxford Street, with no parking in the immediate surrounding area.
