Planning: letters of
representation |
April 2010 |
22 April 2010
Head of Development Control
for the attention of David Taylor
Horsham District Council
Park House, North Street
Horsham RH12 1RL
Dear Mr Taylor
DC/10/0607 TOWN HALL, HORSHAM
I write on behalf of the Horsham Society to object to
the above
Short of opening the building up for inspection I am
willing to assume that we have is a 'blind' arcade and
that the proposal is to remove parts of the original
structure. I took the proposal to the meeting of my
Planning Sub-Committee last night and we agreed nem
con that glazing both openings but then
obstructing the right hand one by display shelving
would give a boss-eyed look to a prominent elevation
and remind one of the Waitrose windows facing the
Carfax.
The Sub-Committee took the view that the proposal
would not enhance the building (that it would actually
adversely affect it) and that the proposed alterations
would not show the respect due to this prominent
Listed Building in the centre of the town.
I shall therefore the entering the Society's formal
objection to the application. At the same time, as
this application does not include any large scale
details of the proposed work, I am asking the Council
to ensure that those responsible for any work to this
building will have the relevant experience.
Yours sincerely
Oliver Palmer
Vice-President, The Horsham Society
Chairman, Planning Sub-Committee |
