The Director, Planning, Development and Transportation submits a report on planning applications received for consideration by the Panel.
Minutes:
A) PRE-APPLICATION PRESENTATION BY THE UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER ON PROJECTS
The panel were shown emerging plans for two sites.
______________________________________________________________
B) 11 ELMFIELD AVENUE, ASHFIELD
Planning Application 20171457
Demolition of single dwelling and construction of three storey 72 Bed Care Home
The panel did not feel the proposed redevelopment would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Stoneygate Conservation Area.
There was a general acceptance that the property would be well
screened from the public highway, but the scale and size of the
building seemed excessive for the amount of garden space within
which it would be located. They considered the design of the new
building lacked coherence and would not complement the overall
character of the conservation area.
They felt the widening of the gate piers would undermine their character but the general boundary treatments were acceptable otherwise.
OBJECTIONS
______________________________________________________________
C) 2-4 PEACOCK LANE, 16 NEW STREET
Listed Building Consent 20171517
Change of use from office (class B1) to hotel (class C1); extensions and alterations
The panel were supportive of the change of use of the building to a hotel.
They felt that the rear extension and the lift extension were acceptable elements.
Concerns were raised that the roof extension would appear too modern and out of context with the main building and surrounding area. Specific concerns were raised about how much glazing could be achieved given the need for privacy in the rooms.
They felt a modern extension was acceptable in principle but greater reference should be made to the proportions of the main building.
The panel further felt the proposed new rear door was not the appropriate location for a replica grand door and that a simple modern door, set-back within the building would be preferable.
