Agenda item

Section 73 Application - For the variation of Condition 2 on NP/SM/0321/0297 at Dains Mill, Roach Road, Upper Hulme (NP/SM/1022/1315, DH)

Minutes:

This item was brought forward on the agenda as the registered speaker had arrived.

 

The Head of Planning introduced the report, which was to vary the design condition on the previous application in 2022.  A revised scheme had been submitted, which was smaller, but it was considered  that the position, size and design of the balcony would still impact on the non-designated heritage assist.

 

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

 

  • Dr M Jones, Applicant

 

Members considered that the balcony would be an alien feature and would be inappropriate and be out of character with the mill building.

 

A notion to refuse the application in accordance with the Officer recommendation was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the application be REFUSED for the following reason:

 

The balcony, by virtue of its position on the building, its size and its design, would cause harm to the significance of the non-designated heritage asset.  The harm would not be outweighed by any public benefits.  Consequently, the proposal is contrary to Core Strategy policies GSP3 and L3, Development Management policies DMC3, DMC5, DMC10, and DMH7, and advice in the Authority’s Adopted Supplementary Planning Documents ‘Conversion of Historic Buildings’ and ‘Alterations and Extensions’
