Minutes:

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

 

Former Savoy, Newcastle 18/00483/FUL

 

The Working Party considers the revised scheme to be an improvement on previous proposals for this site. However, they have concerns over the cladding on the upper floors which may cause staining of the brickwork below, and suggest that a contrasting dark colour brick would be a better alternative. Suggestion that the projecting bricks may be a health and safety issue as they would be ideal for climbing.

 

 

 

 

 

Kidsgrove Heritage Trail, various sites around Kidsgrove and Butt Lane 18/00425/ADV

 

 

 

The Working Party is very supportive and encouraging of the idea of the proposed signs but has concerns regarding their quality and design. It is particularly important that the materials and style of those on the Canal are in keeping with the industrial heritage of the Canals. The proposed acrylic would have a limited lifetime and suggestion that the posts should be stainless steel with a round profile rather than the rectilinear design that is currently proposed. Suggestion that they have a black coating. Consultation is needed with the Canals & Rivers Trust who may offer advice on health and safety matters. Requests that the application comes back to the Group when more information on the precise location and design has been submitted.

 

 

 

Old Vicarage, Haddon Lane, Maer 18/00705/FUL & 18/00706/LBC

 

The Working Party objects to the scale and design of the proposed orangery. The existing conservatory is simple in its design and it fits comfortably under the window line at first floor level. The proposal is too large and the height would interfere with the first floor windows of the property. The shape of the footprint of the orangery does not fit with the lines of the house and should be rectangular. The design needs to be more modest and less fussy and in particular, the cornice is too heavy. Requests that a revised design comes back to the Group.
