Minutes:

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


Smart Innovation Hub Building, IC6, Keele 19/00612/ADV
The Working Party has no objections to the sign on this building but feels that future University signage should have a consistent approach as well as complement the building. NuL School, Mount Pleasant, Newcastle 19/00635/FUL The Working Party has no objections in principle but thinks that the design is fussy and the uprights should continue with no gaps, still incorporating the logo. Some members felt that the new fixed section of railings should replicate the wall on this middle section. 7 Granville Avenue, Newcastle 19/00711/FUL The Working Party recognises that much of this extension is not visible because of the shed which currently occupies the rear of the garden but this is a temporary structure and certainly the hipped roof may be visible. It objects to the copings and would like this element simplified. They also feel that the dark brick detailing around the jambs should be replicated on the extension and ensure that timber is used for the windows, as is specified in the application. Members felt that the proposed large window on the rear was unsightly and thought this could be redesigned to be more sympathetic. Orme House, Orme Road, Newcastle 19/00712/LBC & 19/00715/ADV The Working Party has no objections. Harecastle Farm, Miller & Carter, Talke 19/00680/LBC The Working Party has no objections. Ashfields Grange, Hall Street, Newcastle 19/00614/FUL The Working Party did not object to this proposal given that it will not have an impact on the character or appearance of the Conservation Area. They did express a wish that a landscaping scheme included screening for the car parking at the front of the site.
