The former Shepherds Social Club on Holgate Road is set to be converted into 12 one bedroomed flats.

A planning application will be considered at a meeting taking place on 9th January

The proposal involves the erection of a new side extension. The building is currently vacant.

The Council report says, A financial contribution of £4080 is required for the provision of amenity space and sports pitches. The money would be used to improve a local site such as West Bank Park or Holgate allotments and to improve a sports facility within the West Zone of the Sport and Active Leisure Strategy”.

Access to an 8 vehicle car park is obtained from Hamilton Drive.

No objections have been received to the proposal.

If approved, the 12 additional accommodation units will further reduce the pressure to build on green field land in the City.
