A bar and new apartments will be built as part of a 'regeneration' project despite worries over its 'alien' design
A bar and new apartments will be built as part of a 'regeneration' project despite worries over its 'alien' design. A new bar or café, a shop, and apartments will be added to the existing Victorian buildings on the corner of Woolpack Lane and Stoney Street in the Lace Market, after Nottingham City Council granted permission on August 22.
But Nottingham Civic Society had raised concerns over whether the new construction would fit into the Lace Market's architectural style - criticising its design as 'alien' to the conservation area. In a planning document, a spokesperson said: "We have reservations regarding the design and materials proposed. The scale and proportions appear appropriate, the white glazed cladding is not characteristic of the Lace Market CA, except within lightwells.
A Nottingham City Council planning officer noted these comments, but raised no objection to the design, stating the white glazed brick "is considered to work well with the proposed architectural aesthetic of the extension and is juxtaposition with the adjacent red brick buildings".
"The ground floor has been enhanced to provide greater activity to both street frontages and a small retail space created, through re-location of the substation, again to the benefit of the street frontages. Furthermore, thorough development of this prominent Stoney Street /Woolpack Lane corner, the proposal would provide positive regeneration within the Creative Quarter."
