Proposed development and name of applicant

Comments

 

 

 

12/00775/LBC

Audley’s Cross Farm, Newcastle Road, Market Drayton.

Mr D Bennison.

Retention of UPVC windows.

The Working Party considered that the introduction of UPVC into this historic protected building was not appropriate both in terms of it being an inappropriate and non?historic material and being inherently unsuitable and therefore impacted on the special character of the Listed Building.  Discussion took place over the issue of enforcement over such development but no conclusion was reached.  In general terms the Working Party felt that a view from Planning Committee over such matters would be important.

 

 

 

13/00224/FUL

20 King Street, Newcastle.

Staff kitchens and bedrooms.

Conversion of first floor showroom to three apartments.

No objections.  The Working Party supported the economic use of the upper floors.

 

 

 

13/00228/FUL

Land adjacent to 41 Sneyd Terrace, Silverdale.

Mr S Hulse.

Erection of a pair of semi-detached houses.

The Working Party were concerned about the orientation of the proposed houses and their relationship with the existing grain and historic pattern of development which as proposed could have a harmful impact on the character of the Conservation Area.  They suggest further consideration is given to the layout of the houses and parking on the plot to reflect the existing pattern of development.

 

 

 

13/00229/FUL

19 Curzen Street, Basford, Newcastle.

Mr R Gholamali.

Replacement windows to front elevation.

The Working Party considered that the introduction of the sliding sash windows to the upper floors to match the original shape and proportions of the other adjacent and the interest which that adds to the terrace outweighs the use of UPVC given that the windows are not original.  They wish to ensure that the windows will have this appearance as the plans are unclear and not conclusive.

 

 

 

13/00281/FUL

Roche House, 5 Court Walk, Betley.

Dr T French.

Repair and restoration of garden wall.

No objections.
