“As part of Scottish Borders Housing Association’s ongoing activity of improving housing stock, we are proposing a planning application to refurbish this existing block of bedsit flats and convert them into four two-bedroomed homes to suit the context of the street,” a report submitted with the application stated.
“The refurbished dwellings shall meet the recently updated building regulations.”
