The Development Manager reported on an application for listed building consent following grant of planning permission HS/FA/11/00555 which is for the erection of 3 residential properties. The scheme under consideration is to adjoin 1 East Parade and 33 West Street which are listed buildings. The current proposal is for abutment works to the adjoining buildings.
The site is located on the south side of West Street within the Old Town Conservation Area. The site is vacant, surfaced in tarmac and currently used by the owner as a private car park. The site adjoins 1 East Parade to the west, the western elevation of 33 West Street and 4A and 4 East Parade to the rear. The site was previously occupied by two buildings which adjoined 33 West Street and 1 East Parade, to create a terrace of buildings. Following fire damage, the last of these buildings was demolished in 2004, leaving a single storey section and the western elevation of 1 East Parade, together with the rear elevation of 4A East Parade exposed.
The works proposed involve forming vented cavities between the listed buildings and the new building. The cavities are to be sealed as follows:
- a lead finished upstand is to be used to seal the cavity between the roof of 33 West Street and the new building;
- a timber baton is to be used to seal the cavity between the weatherboard of the proposal and 33 West Street;
- at the lower levels mastic and lime mortar are to be used to seal the cavity,
- to close the cavity between the roof and 1 East Parade lead flashing is to be chased into the render of 1 East Parade;
- vertical weatherboard is to be used to seal the cavity between the roof of the proposal and the roof of 33 West Street.
The main issues considered were the impact of the proposal on the character and appearance of the two listed buildings only.
The Development Manager felt that, subject to conditions, the proposal will preserve the historic character and appearance of the adjoining listed buildings and recommended the application be approved subject to conditions.
The Human Rights considerations have been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
