Agenda item

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

A) 59 FRIAR LANE

Pre-App Presentation

 

B) East Bond Street

Pre-App Presentation

 

C) 4-6 POCKLINGTON’S WALK

Pre-App Presentation

 

D) 134-140 HIGHCROSS STREET

Planning Application 20182111

 

Initial comments focused on the proposed development’s relationship with the schemes recently approved elsewhere within or adjacent to the All Saints Conservation Area. All major conservation concerns focused on the proposed development relationship with the Grade I Listed Church immediately to the east of the site. A more generously set back and modulated façade was advanced as a viable option to improve the relationship between the church and the new development.

 

In addition, the panel asked to seek amendments in regards to the building’s transition from the ground floor upwards, and the overall height immediately opposite the Grade I Listed Church. The views in regards to the top storey, aluminium clad extensions were also framed in terms of excessive visibility as currently stands. More information in regards to the external material palette were requested to appropriately assess the actual impact of the new development on the Grade I Listed Church and the streetscape of the All Saints Conservation Area. 

 

SEEK AMENDMENTS

 

E)  CORNER OF CHURCH GATE & ST PETERS LANE

Planning Application 20190163

 

Initial comments focused on the important position of the plot in regards to the concentration of Grade II properties in close proximity to the site. The height and massing of the property were largely regarded as excessive for its locality, with special reference to the timber warehouse immediately to the north, visibility of which would be significantly affected by the development as proposed.

 

The mismatched design and material palette of the main elevations along Church Gate and St Peter’s Lane were criticized. The former, based on its pastiche style, was regarded as inappropriate for its locality, while the lack of active frontage along St Peter’s Lane was considered regrettable.

 

In all, the scheme was broadly regarded as inappropriate in regards to its surrounding, with high potential to adversely affect the streetscape of the Church Gate Conservation Area and the designated assets adjacent to the site.

 

OBJECTIONS

 

F) 96 JARROM STREET

Planning Application 20180801

 

The previously sought amendments relating to the excessive height of the proposed building were referred to. As a result, there were strong concerns over the development as currently proposed, raised in height despite the aforementioned objections. The Panel considered the revised development proposal to be more harmful to the setting of the designated heritage assets.

 

OBJECTIONS

 

G) 101-107 RATCLIFFE ROAD, MARY GEE HOUSES HALLS OF RESIDENCE

Planning Application 20190433

 

The comments focused predominantly on the overall scale and comprehensive nature of the development, presented as one continuous building line set at the centre of the available plot. This was assessed in comparison to both the precedent on site and the development present elsewhere within the Stoneygate Conservation Area. It was considered to be out of character with the suburban context and not reflective of the urban grain in the local area. 

 

The detailed design of the proposed building was considered to be poor and lacking in contextual response. The proposed uPVC units were specifically regarded as inappropriate in regards to the designated status of the area.  The location of the car park was equally highlighted as inappropriate in regards to the relative prominence of the designated locality, on a corner adjacent to the Grade II* Listed 32 Ratcliffe Road and Grade II Listed 34-38 Ratcliffe Road.

 

In all, the development was regarded as an overdevelopment of the plot, broadly of inappropriate scale and massing in regards to the character of the Stoneygate Conservation Area. A lower density scheme, broken up within a parkland setting and of a higher quality design was suggested as a more acceptable alternative. 

 

OBJECTIONS

 

H) 7A STANLEY ROAD

Planning Application 20190270 and 20190271

 

The members of the panel were largely dissatisfied with the amount of information submitted as part of the application, with no specifications in regards to the actual material alterations to the historic fabric on site. The subdivisions of the interior were regarded as grossly inappropriate based on the Grade II status of the property under consideration.
