The application to convert the
(Listed) CLEGGS BUILDING
into flats, and to build new
blocks to the rear, was
WITHDRAWN by the applicant
on 13th June.
While welcoming the conversion plan, we had lodged an objection to the overall number of apartments proposed, and to the design and materials of the new blocks. We understand that the architects are in the process of modifying the plans, so as to reduce the number of dwelling units and to use the existing Gateacre Brow gateway as an entry (though not exit) point for vehicles.

The application to build
10 flats on the site of
MICHAEL TAYLOR'S GARAGE
at 167-169 Grange Lane was REFUSED by the City Council
on 3rd June.
The reasons for refusal were that the proposed building 'would constitute an intrusive and overly imposing feature on the surrounding street scene', it would adversely affect both the character of the Gateacre Village Conservation Area and the setting of Listed Buildings, and that the proposed car parking area would be 'detrimental to the visual amenities of the site' and a source of noise and disturbance to its neighbours.
