Change of use of property The property has been vacant and has not formed part of the long-term residential rental market. As such, the proposed use will have a minimal impact on the availability of long-term housing in the area. The accommodation is intended primarily for short-term occupancy by doctors, interns, and other healthcare professionals undertaking temporary placements at the local hospital. This will provide flexible accommodation to support healthcare staff. In addition, the property is currently undergoing, and will continue to undergo, phased renovation and improvement works. Ongoing renovations make the property unsuitable for a conventional long-term tenancy at this time
