Demolition of the existing building and redevelopment of the site to provide a residential building of up to 5 storeys (Use Class C3) and associated public realm improvements (amended description)

The Committee considered a report on the above application.  An update report was tabled at the meeting which set out details of amended plans that had been submitted by the applicant.  The amended plans included the removal of a metal grid structure to the north elevation of the building which had been proposed to provide a frame for climbing plants as a design feature, due to concerns raised regarding access, maintenance and management challenges of such a feature given that it would be located on the north-facing elevation of a shared boundary.

Resolved –

          That consideration of application 201104/FUL be deferred for an accompanied site visit to appraise the context of the site and for further information on:

-       An application (230559) at the adjacent site of The Butler PH (currently invalid);

-       The visual setting that the proposed development would provide for the front view of the adjacent Listed Building (The Butler PH).
