Minutes:

Resolved:       That the following observations be made on the applications

listed below:-

 

 

 

The Orchard, Brampton Lodge, Newcastle    20/00856/FUL

 

 

 

The Working Party feels that the proposal is overdevelopment for the site and the loss of land around the house, especially across the site from north to south, is harmful to the Conservation Area.   The group wanted to draw attention to the level of quality buildings within the Conservation Area which could be drawn upon.  A new design of a higher quality and reduced in scale would make a less anti-social development within a site that has many opportunities for a development and which makes a positive contribution to the environment.

 

Former Pykes, Lancaster Buildings, Newcastle  20/00945/DEEM3 &

 20/00946/LBC

 

No objections.

 

Wilbraham House, Church Street, Audley  20/00923/FUL

 

The Working Party expressed the unfortunate way that this building has been disproportionately and incrementally added to over the years, at the expense of the original house.  It required a master plan rather than piecemeal additions. The group was pleased the business had survived the pandemic and was viable and although the lack of architectural strategy was regrettable it felt that given the restrictions of the site this was the limit of any further additions.
