In the planning application its says: "The proposed development would be on a public transport route with a range of local shops and a range of local services (schools, health centre and community facilities) in the area.

"There are no physical or environmental constraints implicit in the proposals. The site is in a sustainable urban area with good access to all local services.

"The existing building on the site is of no architectural merit and is structurally unstable, therefore there are no issues with its demolition."
