Reminder: Hunter St. closure
To provide space to safely complete the construction of the new
multi-storey car park, it will be necessary to close a central section
of Hunter Street to all through traffic from 4 – 24th September. As a
result Northgate Street will operate as a two-way traffic flow during
the closure.

External painting to existing shop front (windows frames and fascia board) and replacement hanging signs, Internal alterations to facilitate proposed cafe and artists studios.
Comments: The Civic Trust Objects to the proposal. The Civic Trust have no objection in principle to this proposal for a café and artists’ studios but are concerned about the fire risk to wooden structures from the proposal for ceramics being fired in a kiln in the undercroft. We consider that a condition be imposed preventing the firing of pottery on the premises and any heat using activities that could threaten the historic structure of the building

Comment:
– Residential amenity
Comments: The Civic trust objects to this retrospective application for the following reasons:
The multiple occupation of this house has the potential to cause disturbance to neighbours and additional on street parking leading to a loss of amenity for existing residents.
The drawings show that access to the new shower room at the back of the house requires access through the kitchen and then out of the back door into the yard. This is an unacceptable layout for healthy living.
