SU.1

 

Application ref:            S03/1669/69

 

Description:               Erection of a hotel

 

Location:                    Former Welland Motor Factors Site, North Street, Stamford

Noting comments on initial and subsequent revisions from the Historic Buildings Advisor, the Local Highways Authority, the Community Archaeologist, no objection from the Environment Agency, Stamford Town Council, representations received from members of the public as a result of publicity, Stamford Civic Society and submissions received from the applicant, for the following reason:-

 

It is considered that the design of the proposed development for this important site on the northern edge of Stamford Conservation Area and adjacent to the Grade II* listed Browne's Hospital, particularly the treatment of the front elevation of the hotel, lacks both the visual and architectural quality to provide the enhancement to the appearance of the area which a site of this prominence warrants.

The proposal is considered, therefore, to be contrary to Central Government Planning Policy Guidance contained in PPG15 (Planning and the Historic Environment), PPG21 (Tourism), Policy BE3 of the Lincolnshire Structure Plan (Deposit Draft - April 2004) and Policy C9 of the South Kesteven Local Plan.
