Application Date:

Application Notes:
The Town Council objects to this planning application on the grounds that the proposals appear to neither preserve nor enhance the character of the property in the Meole Brace Conservation Area. This application site is one-half of two pairs of semi-detahced dwellings, in a visualy prominent position, which have a very distinctive style adding greatly to the character of the area. Members feel that the installation of the roof lights will have an adverse effect on the character and form of the existing street scene. Reconsultation on 01.04.20 with Planning Committee members; The Town Council remains uncomfortable with the fact that a significant number of velux openings can be installed in one of a prominent pair of semi-detached properties in the heart of historic Meole within the Conservation Area. If the Planning Authority is so mindful to approve the application, Members would wish assurances as to the materials to ensure that the finish doesn’t have a detrimental impact on the visual appearance of these period properties.
