CLEGGS FACTORY SITE/ BREWERY GARDENS
As residents of Sandfield Road will be well aware, building work has resumed on the site of the former felt factory off Gateacre Brow. The skyline has been drastically altered as a three-storey apartment block has risen up. This is the final phase of the Brewery Gardens project, which was originally granted planning permission in 2006 and, with slight amendments to the footprint, 2016. We objected to the height of this newbuild component on both occasions, as did numerous local residents. However, our objections were overruled (as reported in our November 2016 Newsletter). The City Council's planning officers felt that an 'industrial scale' building would be more appropriate than the mews-style housing that we were suggesting.
