The CAAC OBEJCTS to these proposals which do not follow the Shop Front Design Guide and would result in the loss of historic features which contribute to the character of the building and it role in Curtain Road street scene.

The CAAC OBEJCTS to these proposals which do not follow the Shop Front Design Guide and would result in the loss of historic features which contribute to the character of the building and it role in Curtain Road street scene.

Full Planning Permission (Catherine Nichol)

The CAAC notes that most of the proposed works are internal and relate to the re-purposing of the building for new uses. The works undertaken for the previous application were of good quality and also provided appropriate secondary glazing to protect local amenity whilst also being sensitive to the historic interest of the building. We would, therefore, encourage LBH to make sure that the internal work safeguard the long-term future of the building – for example, by maintaining the important works undertaken as part of the previous conversion to ensure the long term of the building is safeguarded.

Full Planning Permission (Alix Hauser)

No objection – although the CAAC notes that, whilst not part of the Victorian Shoreditch context, the existing building is one of the final remaining examples of the post-war flatted factory type buildings built by the LCC as part of the later industrial function of the area. As such we welcome the retention of the building and encourage the LPA and applicant to develop a detailed scheme for the façade that respects the character of the existing building.
