FLATS Proposal For Greenock West End Site Is RejectedPLANNING permission has been refused for a four-storey residential development in the West End of Greenock.
The application proposed building a new block beside tenements at Kelly Street, near Union Street. There were to be four one-bedroom flats.
The ground involved was described as being private with no public access or amenity value.
Inverclyde Council officials have now issued their verdict, concluding that the design approach and use of materials “fails to preserve or enhance” the Greenock West End Conservation Area.
Their report further argues that developing the original rear grounds of the listed building fronting Union Street would be to its detriment.
Other reasons for refusal included concerns over window-to-window privacy and lack of off-street parking.
