Minutes:
Internal and external alterations to convert the
building into shops and holiday units use
a)
The Development Manager
highlighted that the application involved the same building as in the previous
application and responded to the physical work elements that require planning
permission. Reference was made to paragraph 5.13 of Technical Advice Note (TAN)
24: The Historic Environment, this states that Local Planning Authorities
should consider the following matters:
·
The importance and
grade of the building and its intrinsic architectural or historic interest
·
The physical features
of the building which justify its listing and contribute to its significance,
including any features of importance such as the interior, which may have come
to light after the building’s inclusion on the list
·
The contribution of
curtilage and setting to the significance of the building, as well as its
contribution to its local scene
·
The impact of the
proposed works on the significance of the building
·
The extent to which the
proposed works would bring substantial community benefits for example, by
contributing to the area’s economy or the enhancement of its local environment
It was reported, as the building had seen so much
change over time, no original features remained within the building and there
was very little historical fabric to lose by converting the building, apart
from the windows that had already received appropriate attention. It was noted
that the Ancient Monuments Society and the Victorian Society reflected this in
their observations. The Victorian Society had also noted concern regarding how
the new floor on the second floor would have an impact on the existing windows,
as the floor would go across the windows. By now, the plans had been adapted
following the receipt of observations and discussions and the floor would have
a slope off the window, in order to reduce the visual impact.
It was considered that restoration work on the
building, that was a striking building within the streetscape and also within
the town's walls, was a significant improvement and met with the requirements
of the relevant policies and was acceptable for approval.
b)
Taking advantage of the
right to speak, the Local Member made the following points:
·
That the matters in
question here were listed building plans
·
There were very few
specific features left
·
He accepted the
observations of the Victorian Society
·
The plan would give new
life to an old building within the town
c) It was proposed and
seconded to approve the application
RESOLVED to delegate powers to the Assistant Head
of Department to refer the application to CADW with a recommendation for
approval.
