The proposals are part of development plans to refurbish a historic Victorian terrace on Bedford Street, with part change of use to include two cafes on the ground floor and offices above, and the aparthotel to be built and located to the rear of the building.  

Approval was also granted for a 10 storey mixed-use development with 85 serviced apartments on the Dublin Road.
