DECISIONS MADE BY LEICESTER CITY COUNCIL The Service Director, Planning and Policy submits a report on decisions made by the Planning and Development Control Committee on planning applications previously considered by the Panel. Minutes: The Panel wished it to be noted that they had extreme concern regarding the approval for the demolition of 142 Charles Street, 2 Church Street (Spread Eagle Public House.) It was observed that approval had been granted despite objections from the Panel, Conservation Officers and English Heritage, and despite previous enforcement action being approved. The Panel stated that they felt there was insufficient justification given for the decision. The Panel was also concerned that the decision may have not satisfied PPG15. |

CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS The Service Director, Planning and Policy submits a report on planning applications received for consideration by the Panel. Minutes: A) WELLINGTON HOTEL, RUTLAND STREET Planning Application 20061314 Retention of windows and rooflights
The Director reported that windows were replaced with uPVC contrary to the approved scheme and the application was for the retention of these windows.
B) CHARLES STREET POLICE STATION Advertisement Consent 20061269
The Director said that the application was for signage to advertise new office space in the development.
The Panel felt that 3 years was too long and that consent should only be given for 2 years. They also queried the method of attaching the signs. They therefore requested amendment of the application.
D) ENGINEERING BUILDING, LEICESTER UNIVERSITY Listed Building Consent 20061189 Listed Building Consent 20060754 The Panel gave reluctant approval of the works due to the lack of evidence of what was removed, but asked that a warning be issued to the applicant to prevent any further unauthorised works in the future.
The Panel felt that the current scheme was an improvement on the previous submission, but asked that special attention be given to the selection of materials and detailing.
