A planning meeting on Thursday heard the site is so dangerous, fire crews have refused to go inside the building on safety grounds.But the despite the state of the building, councillors refused the plans and expressed concerns that the proposed 11 parking spaces provided were not enough for a housing development of that size.The first refusal for 58 apartments in 2022 was made by council officers over concerns about poor design and the possibility of bats being inside the premises.
