CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS

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

Minutes:

A) ALL SAINTS PLACE

Pre-app

 

A presentation was made on a development proposal.    

 

 

B) 1-9 & 19B DE MONTFORT MEWS

Planning Application 20172192

DEMOLITION OF BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION OF FIVE STOREY BUILDING PROVIDING 122 STUDENT STUDIO FLATS; CYCLE PARKING AND LANDSCAPING

 

The panel considered that while the existing buildings were of no architectural quality, they were of an appropriate scale for the setting. The proposed new build was considered to be overdevelopment and excessive in terms of building height and footprint. The design needed to better reflect a muse type of development. Although views of the site were restricted, there were still some notable points from which it would be visible and it was considered the development would be harmful to the character of the two adjacent conservation areas. It was suggested that the materials on the upper part of the proposed property were oppressive and the fenestration detailing on the two principle elevations should be looked at again.    

 

OBJECTIONS

 

C) 80 WHARF STREET SOUTH

Planning Application 20172259

DEMOLITION OF EXISTING BUILDINGS; CONSTRUCTION OF 8-11 STOREY BUILDING TO ACCOMMODATE 4 RETAIL UNITS (CLASS A1) ON THE GROUND FLOOR AND 72 FLATS ABOVE (18 X 1 BED AND 54 X 2 BED) (CLASS C3)

 

The panel were opposed to a scheme that would involve the total loss of a Local Heritage Asset and a redevelopment scheme that was without merit. They considered that the existing heritage asset could be retained within a scheme to redevelop the wider plot and that it would enhance a more comprehensive scheme. Serious concerns were expressed about the proposed new build, including its excessive height and poor detailing. The lack of accurate drawings and detail on materials were also raised as issues that made assessment problematic.   

 

OBJECTIONS

 

D) 64-66 HUMBERSTONE GATE

Planning Application 20171868

PARTIAL DEMOLITION OF EXISTING BUILDING TO RETAIN BUILDING FACADE AND ERECTION OF 5/6 STOREY BUILDING TO PROVIDE 42 RESIDENTIAL FLATS AND 2 GROUND FLOOR COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL UNITS WITH ASSOCIATED EXTERNAL ALTERATIONS

 

The panel were broadly supportive of the development and were positive about the restoration of the principle facades of the older building. The scale of the new development was considered to be acceptable but concerns were raised about the detailing. The new build was considered to be bland in design and to have an uncomfortable relationship to the retained elements. It was suggested that the detailing should be more sophisticated and fenestration should take more cues from the retained facades. Deeper reveals for the windows were requested and concern was raised about the use of the upper part of the retained front faced for residential use. It was suggested that two storey height shopfronts would ensure a more cohesive appearance.  

 

SEEK AMENDMENTS

 

E) FLEET HOUSE, FLEET STREET

Planning Application 20172357

DEMOLITION OF BUILDINGS ON SITE

 

The panel were opposed to a scheme that would involve the total loss of a Local Heritage Asset, without new development proposed for the site. They considered the existing building to be of heritage value and that the reasons given for its demolition were unconvincing.
