Resolved:
That the following observations be made on the
applications
listed below:-
Sports Hall, University of Keele 18/00456/FUL
The Working Party had no objections in principle to
the proposal but wondered if it could be positioned closer to the
sports hall away from the edge of the site and potential views
across the landscape from Boggs Cottages. No indication is given in the application as to
how temporary the permission will be.

Grassed area, adj to St Lukes Church and 173-179 Church Street, Silverdale
18/00469/FUL

The
proposal is acceptable in principle but concerns was raised on the
fixing of the poppies given they might be vandalised, removed and
dangerous. In addition galvanised steel
is not particularly durable material and consideration should be
given to using stainless steel. In this
regard there is also a maintenance programme as wild flower meadows
can look untidy if not well looked after. There are no
details for the type and material of the paving or
drainage. It was also noted that the
memorial is specific to WW1 and not all conflicts.

Former
Savoy, The Midway, Newcastle
18/00482/FUL
The
Working Party notes the improvements on the approved scheme and its
relationship with the existing townscape. It is a good redesign and the reduction in height
is welcomed and appears more solid which is successful. The introduction of brick and reduction in the
cladding is an improvement and it appears neater at ground level,
although the Working Party wish to point out that it would be more
successful if it were about 3 storey’s lower. Concern was raised over the issues of plant
equipment which often is an afterthought and ends up on the
roof. Given the issues at Castle House
this should not be visible and should be dealt with prior to any
approval.
