Application for Listed Building Consent for the partial demolition and conversion of existing Grade II Listed Buildings for residential use with associated landscaping and parking (In connection with Full Planning Application reference 7969/APP/2023/1473).
Officers introduced the application highlighting that an application for full planning consent had recently been refused; it was clarified for the Committee that the application for determination by Members was exclusively for the physical works to the listed building elements. Members’ attention was drawn to the addendum which sought to add an informative clarifying for the applicant that, the application determined by the Committee related only to the physical works on the listed building and nothing else on the wider full planning application.
Officers highlighted that the only material consideration with the listed building consent application was whether the proposed works would result in potential harm to the historic fabric of the heritage assets, and if so, would the applicant able to demonstrate significant public benefit which would outweigh the potential harm identified. It was also clarified that the listed building application could not grant consent for the change of use or for the construction of any ancillary extensions. The listed building consent application was recommended for approval.
Members noted that the listed building proposals would enhance the existing heritage asset and would safeguard the listed building going forward. The Committee also commented that the proposals would in fact remove some of the less aesthetically pleasing elements of the buildings that had been added over the years.
The officer’s recommendation, inclusive of the additional informative highlighted in the addendum, was moved, seconded, and when put to a vote, unanimously approved.
RESOLVED: That the application be approved as per officers’ recommendation.
