Residents will be aware that the Old Boot Shop, Edward and Annette Drake’s former house, has been vacant for some time.
Now the present owner has put in an application for Listed Building Consent to make major alterations inside and out.
The main concern is that he wishes to replace the second door and old shop window with a new rather bland bay window and use only one door in future.
The application number is 23/02544/LBC if you feel strongly that the changes will adversely affect the streetscene and the Conservation Area in general.
