In addition, approval was sought from Cabinet to vary the original scheme to include the Group Repair of 13 – 21 Mallaby Street and also to extend the boundary wall scheme to include 137 – 155 Norman Street.  The rationale for the variations was set out in the report of the Director of Regeneration.
