13/00652/LBC

13/00653/LBC & 13/00654/LBC

3, 4 & 5 Birches Farm Mews, Madeley.

Retention of UPVC windows and doors.

The Working Party regrets the introduction of UPVC into the mews development but reluctantly accepts that in this instance the change does not significantly harm the character of the Conservation area, taking into account the new build element of this part of the development and that it is not as visible as other parts of the mews.  It was felt however, that the windows at number 4, given the colour, did stand out and should only be retained if the windows and doors were painted to match the rest of the development.  Given the life cycle of UPVC windows, wood should be re-introduced when the windows are next changed.

 

 

 

13/00668/ADV

Former Burton Menswear. 1-3 Ironmarket, Newcastle.

Caffe Nero.

Externally illuminated lettering to existing fascia and externally illuminated projecting sign.

The Working Party are frustrated that the applicant has not waited for the decision before carrying out the work but has no objections to the signage.
