Representations made on planning applications following the meeting of the Planning Committee held on 2 May 2019:
Week ending 16 April
SDNP/19/01760/LIS: Proposed replacement rear single and two storey extension. Internal modifications and restoration, external works. 32 Friars Walk (Friends Meeting House).
Friends of Lewes consider the rationale behind the proposed changes has been clearly explained and the scheme is presented with exemplary clarity, greatly assisted by the perspective views. The proposed extension, although large, remains subsidiary to the existing Meeting House and is clearly distinguished from it by the choice of different materials and unmistakably modern detailing. The new entrance façade created on the northern side of the building, facing onto the library, is largely successful and the Society is generally supportive of the proposals. It does however have reservations about the form of the proposed curved roof over the extension, which it considers forms a most uncomfortable knife-edge junction with the existing pitched roof. The Society suggests that a simpler form, still in a modern idiom, could resolve this junction in a more convincing manner. It also has reservations about the proposed landscaping shown in the perspectives. Whilst appreciating that these are probably only illustrative, it feels that as drawn they look fussy and ill considered.
Week ending 23 April
SDNP/19/01867/HOUS: Construction of a separate timber frame garden studio [annexe] within rear garden of existing dwelling. 27 Newton Road.
Friends of Lewes have no objection in principle to this development. However, it objects to the design as it finds the proposed pop up tower intrusive on the open space adjacent to the boundary of the development.
