Re: Re: New street idea sun only

the ‘living over the shop’ scheme wasn’t a total failure. I know of a couple of projects that went ahead under this scheme and which would definitely not have happened without the tax incentive. I don’t think DCC publicised it as fully as they could have. For one thing, there was a little known clause, buried in the explanatory text, that allowed an owner to build additional floors, or completely rebuild the premises taller, if this could be justified on urban design grounds. I only cop’d that one very late in the day, or I might have got a couple more small schemes through myself.

Sorry about what I said earlier on the other thread, johnglas, but don’t go blanking gunter or he’ll get out his pictures of lovely concrete Cumbernauld!
