52 Application No. 2020/0931 - Shopping Centre, Carlton Square, Carlton pdf icon PDF 527 KB

Minutes:

Proposed new boundary treatment along Station Road, new facade treatment to existing buildings, new street furniture, lighting and landscaping

 

The Principal Planning Officer introduced the report and advised Members that a change was proposed in respect of condition 4 of the committee report (P83) as it defined that no gates could be erected to the Station Road service yard; however, the applicants would want some form of gate for security reasons.  Having approached the Highway Authority they were content that this would be acceptable subject the gates being open whilst the units were trading or when the delivery yard was in use.  The updated condition would read:

 

“The hereby approved gates at the entrance to the Station Road Service yard shall remain in an open position at all times when the retail units are trading or the delivery yard is in use”.

 

He added that alterations to the site would include enhancing the public realm in terms of new paving and street furniture to the central walkway and to the front of units adjacent to Burton Road.  Furthermore, the elevation treatment of the units would be enhanced through alterations to the façade of the building including a new shop front to the car park entrance of farm foods, render and fascia panels on otherwise brick walls and improved boundary treatments, all of which were considered to enhance the character of the area and customer experience.

 

He concluded that as a result the application was recommended for approval, subject to the altered condition.
