Minutes:

Resolved:-   That the following observations be made on the applications listed below:-

 

3 woodland Avenue, Wolstanton  18/00097/FUL

 

The Working Party has no objections to the extension and link but feels the archway should be omitted from the scheme.

 

Former Orme School, Orme Road, Newcastle   17/00090/FUL & 17/000086/LBC

 

The Working Party feels that the changes to the scheme are not of any particular significance to the special character of the building but that the scheme lacks relevant details again, for instance how the floors will cross the windows how any lowered ceilings will be dealt with which could be harmful to the character of the building.  The request that these details are provided to the satisfaction of the officers before the scheme is implemented.

 

Kidsgrove Scout Association, The Avenue, Kidsgrove  18/00089/FUL

 

The Working Party welcomed the removal of the existing building but feels that as the proposed building will be higher and larger than the existing building, that the rear roof should also be hipped which will also reflect the canal side building.  The drawing looks like the brickwork will have a pattern or banding which is unnecessary and that a darker brick would be more appropriate for the canal side setting.  It was also noted that downspouts had been omitted from the drawing and should be located on the side elevation to the building away from the canal and for maintenance and that they should be a matt black colour.
