13/00885/ADV
|
New Look, Castle Walk,
Newcastle-under-Lyme.
New Look Group
plc.
Four illuminated
fascia signs and one illuminated sign.
|
The proposed sign is
too deep for the existing shop fascia and its depth should be
reduced. To comply with Policy, letters
should be individually illuminated and should stand proud from
background panel and not be lit through a light box as
proposed.
|

|
13/00895/FUL
|
Rare Restaurant,
Rectory Buildings, 39 Ironmarket.
Replacement roller
shutter with aluminium double doors.
|
No objections.

|
13/00838/FUL &
13/00839/LBC
|
Outbuildings at
Whitmore Hall Estate.
Mr Cavanagh-Mainwaring.
Conversion of
outbuildings.
|
This Working Party
feels that this barn conversion is ill thought out and that the
proposed proposal and extension harms the setting of the Grade I
site and important landscape. They
object to the raising of the roof of the eastern section and think
that the majority of alterations should be undertaken on the
already modified southern elevation.
|
|
|
|
13/00844/FUL
|
Keele University
Campus, Keele.
Conversion and
extension of existing oil bund to create store.
|
No objections.
|
|
|
|
13/00871/FUL &
13/00872/LBC
|
Willoughbridge Lodge Cottage, Willoughbridge Lane.
M R McDowell.
Demolition of existing
garage and conservatory and erection of two 2-storey side
extensions.
|
The Working Party
wants the main building and extension to have timber windows, as in
previous decision and want doors including the garage to be in
timber as well.

106 High Street,
Newcastle.
Ms S Henly.
1 illuminated fascia
sign and 1 illuminated projecting sign. Installation of new shop front, 2 air conditioning
units and satellite dish.
|
The Working Party have
no objections to the fascia sign but feel that the introduction of
a hanging sign in this location is detrimental to the character and
appearance of the Conservation Area.
They would like the number of the property displaying somewhere on
the building.
|
|
|
|
13/00918/FUL
|
1 Mount Pleasant,
Newcastle.
Newcastle.
Newcastle-under-Lyme
Dental Practice.
Single storey
extension within existing front courtyard.
|
This is a keynote
building in the Streetscene of this Conservation Area. The Working Party objects to this proposal which
does not retain the existing character of the former residential
property, in terms of its quality of design and the fact that it
comes right up to the edge of the highway including the loss of the
gate piers. The Working Party wants any
gate to be a solid gate to shield the appearance of the bins.
