The site consists of a terrace of commercial properties, namely 349 to 359 Palatine Road, located with the Northenden District Centre. The properties are currently vacant but were last used as a beauty salon, a café and a bar on the ground floor, with associated commercial space above. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing terrace and replace it with the following:

Erection of a 4 storey building consisting of a ground floor commercial unit

(226m²), with 16 two bed apartments above. Creation of 15 parking spaces at the rear of the site, access to which would be via the existing access road at the side of the property. Two of these spaces would be disabled parking spaces. Erection of an external bin and cycle store.
