Agenda item

The Director of Planning, Development and Transportation submits a report on planning applications received for consideration by the Panel.

A) New Walk Place, Welford Road, New Walk

Planning Applications 20240947

 

Installation of a piece of public art to public square

 

The Panel were supportive of the application and noted they were happy to see more street art throughout the city. Some members requested more information on the type of stone proposed for the column, and whether it would be a single monolith or made up several different sections. They advised this element will be crucial, and the materials should be well chosen. Subject to satisfying this query, the Panel were in full support of this proposal.

 

NO OBJECTIONS

 

B) 150 St Nicholas Circle, 1-7 and 13 Bath Lane

Planning Application 20221210

 

Demolition of existing buildings, Construction of a 4, 5, 6 and 7 storey building containing student accommodation (102 studios, 1 x 3 bed cluster flat and 5 x 4 bed cluster flats)(Sui Generis) with associated communal, amenity and ancillary space. (Amended plans)

 

The Panel continued to harbour reservations about this scheme, citing its key gateway location as pivotal to their consideration. They acknowledged that progress had been made with the proposed design, principally taking into account previous comments regarding turning the corner and the Castle Gardens elevation. However, members maintained concerns about the massing and composition, feeling it remains insufficient given the sensitivities of the site. They suggested AVR views should be set further west along St Augustine Road, to take in the full context of the Holiday Inn. Overall, while the currently proposed scheme represents an improvement compared to previous iterations, the Panel felt it does not go far enough to resolve the initial objections raised in September 2022 and February 2024. Based on this, they maintained an objection.

 

OBJECTIONS

 

 

C) 3A Sandown Road

Planning Application 20241161

 

Demolition of part of single storey extension; construction of single storey extension at side; wall insulation; rooflights; gate and wall to front; alterations to house (Class C3)

 

The Panel were generally supportive of the application. Some questions were raised regarding elements of the scheme such as materials and the position of the proposed boundary wall. Overall, members agreed the scale of the alterations were in keeping with the area and due to its set back nature, would have no negative impact on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
