CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS

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

Minutes:

A) NARBOROUGH ROAD, FORMER SATHYA SAI SCHOOL

Pre-app

 

A presentation was made by William Bates (Gordon White & Hood) and Dr Shafiq Shafi on the proposed conversion and extension of the former board school on Narborough Road. Following questions from the panel, the presenters left and the panel considered the scheme.

 

B) 1 ST ALBANS ROAD

Planning Application 20172700

PROPOSAL COMPRISES 71 STUDENT ACCOMMODATION UNITS WITH DEMOLITION TO EXISTING BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT TO REAR

 

The panel were supportive of the most recent alterations and felt they had addressed their concerns and were pleased to see the restoration of the ground floor bay windows into the scheme.

 

NO OBJECTIONS

 

 

C) GREAT CENTRAL STREET, HIGHCROSS STREET, ALL SAINTS OPEN

Planning Application 20180144

DEMOLITION OF PERIMETER WALL; CONSTRUCTION OF A FOUR TO SEVEN STOREY BUILDING PLUS BASEMENT LEVEL TO PROVIDE 73 RESIDENTIAL UNITS (2 X STUDIO, 42 X 1 BED, 29 X 2 BED)(CLASS C3), ASSOCIATED PARKING AND WORKS

 

The panel had some concerns about lack of detailing of the entrance, ‘shopfront’ window on the south elevation and ventilation grilles and there was a discussion about the impact of the flank wall of the norther elevation, but overall felt the scheme was appropriate to its context.

 

NO OBEJCTIONS

 

 

D) 123 LOUGHBOROUGH ROAD

Planning Application 20170793

DEMOLITION OF GARAGE AND OUTBUILDING AT SIDE AND REAR; CONSTRUCTION OF DWELLINGHOUSE (3 BEDROOMS) (CLASS C3)

 

 

The panel did not object to the loss of the existing workshop or garage or to the general principle of the development.

 

There was a discussion of the appropriateness of the style of the new dwelling as it had no specific historic reference to its location and was a pastiche that did not belong to the era in which it would be built.

 

While some members of the panel felt the proposed design would not harm the character of the conservation area a majority felt that a contemporary design would be preferable and the construction of a pastiche would be harmful.

 

OBJECTIONS

 

E) SANDACRE STREET, CAR PARK

Planning Application 20171254

CONSTRUCTION OF 298 RESIDENTIAL UNITS. BLOCK ONE: FIVE, SIX, NINE AND TWELVE STOREY'S (78 X 1 BED, 91 X 2 BED); BLOCK TWO: FIVE, SIX, ELEVEN AND THIRTEEN STOREY'S (79 X 1 BED, 50 X 2 BED) (CLASS C3). CAR PARKING, LANDSCAPING. DEMOLITION

 

The panel felt the level of information submitted as part of the application was not adequate to allow for a proper assessment of the proposal.

 

There was a debate about the appropriateness of a tall building in this location and there was some support for the contemporary palette of materials. Concerns were also raised about the relationship between the blocks and whether the new open spaces would suffer from a lack of clear role or ownership.

 

Overall the panel felt that the tallness of the buildings was inappropriate, in particular the central block and that based on the submitted information, it would be likely to have a harmful impact on the setting of the Church Gate Conservation Area.
