The plan also aims to add three car parking spaces to the property, taking the total up to eight as well as adding eight bicycle spaces.<br \/>\nThe council is not likely to decide on the application before March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A PLAN to demolish a house in Heath and replace it with flats for hospital workers \u00a0has been put forward &#8211; one year after 500 residents signed a petition against a similar proposal.
