Agenda and minutes

Barn View, Lower Stoney Low, Keele 21/00426/FUL

The Working Party were happy that the applicant was considering flush closing

casement windows but not with the proposal to use an unnatural and unsustainable

material in the listed barns.  They should be replaced like for like and in a uniform

dark stained colour to remain in harmony with the adjacent properties with which they

form an integral part.

Linden House, 17A King Street, Newcastle   21/00440/FUL

The group objected to the proposed railings which were poorly detailed and appeared

to be of inappropriate quality in the highly prominent corner.  The side of the property

was just as prominent and should be treated the same as the frontage, which was with

a brick wall, high quality railings.  Some members suggested that the wall might be a

little higher as a barrier to the busy road.

Oakley Hall, Market Drayton  21/00503/LBC

The group accepted the alterations but wanted to ensure that any details, like architraves

and the fireplace, that were uncovered were repaired and reinstated as appropriate. 

There were also no details of proposed new internal doors and this should also be condition

for approval by the LPA to ensure the design is sensitive to the Grade II* Listed Building.

Concern was raised over the ventilation of the wet room, given its location in the centre of

the property.  The Group wanted to condition an architectural watching brief at each stage

of the process so that informed judgements could be made on findings and how to treat

these.
