  PROTECTED STRUCTURE : PERMISSION is sought by Razorlight Ltd for permission for a development at 9-12 Dawson Street, a Protected Structure. Permission was previously granted (Reg. Ref. 4716/18) and extended, for a change of use totalling 851.7sq.m. of the ground floor of number 9-10 Dawson Street and rear of 11-12 Dawson Street from office to licensed restaurant. Permission was also granted (Reg.Ref.3889/24) to use part of the basement area (170 sq. m. in extent) for staff toilets, staff changing and storage to serve the restaurant at ground floor level. Works to implement these permissions are commencing and these are expected to be completed by October 2025.
