Any Other Business To consider any applications for financial assistance from the Conservation and Heritage Fund which may have been brought to this meeting by the officer Minutes: (a) Civic Society
On behalf of the Civic Society, Mr Worgan asked for a copy of the ‘Primary Frontage Shopping Document’. There is no such document but the Conservation Officer would look into what the Society actually required. The Working Party requested that the Council needed a shop front and signage policy for conservation areas.
(b) Poundstretcher
The Conservation Officer updated the group on the issues. She confirmed that the owner’s insurers had agreed to settle their claim and that a number of officers and the owner had met on 11 October to set out important issues. It was hoped that the owners would instruct a structural engineer and an architect to move forward with the appropriate applications to redevelop the site. She also detailed the requirements from Building Control were continuing to be met by the owner with the scaffolding system and that hopefully the front hoarding could be removed in the near future. Issues were raised from a member regarding the highway and pedestrian safety issues.
