The Working Party has no objections in principle to the signs but insists that all fixings for the signs be made into mortar courses or reuse existing holes. |

Blackburn House, The Midway, Newcastle
|
Strongly object to cladding, as unnecessary. This building and Marches House, built as a pair in the 1960’s where the addition of the cladding will change the balance and composition of the two buildings. It is well designed with a quality and character particularly around the windows. No case has been put forward for adding cladding. Very real risk that the timber cladding will look unsightly in a few years. |

No objections
The Working Party considers that this application is overdevelopment of the site and at present there is a subsidiarity to the extension. The damage to the streetscene has already been done but would wish the possibility of dormers in the roof to reduce the overall bulk of the roof be explored.
The WP considers that more care needs to be taken with the design to reflect the existing building particularly in relation to existing openings, ensuring that cill heights are retained and that reference is paid to the existence of the large openings. There is a possibility for archaeology on the site.
This proposal is not the most desirable use of land for this corner of the Conservation Area. It could be tidied up.
This part of the Conservation Area is attractive and the Working Party feels that the banner sign should be lower in height to be more in keeping with the character of the street.
The Barracks Workshops is an important high quality listed building designed to be seen from all angles. The Working Party considers the building unsympathetic and the roof material completely inappropriate and that all timber would be a better solution.
No objections, but the Working Party wants to ensure that the trees on Stanier Street are unharmed and the hoarding is located behind the bollards for added security. |
