RESOLVED: That an application for planning permission for the demolition of existing buildings and erection of 7-storey office building (Use Class E) with ground floor commercial unit (flexible retail and/or other Use Class E), with associated cycle parking (Amended Scheme) at 39-43 Charles Street and 186-194 Norfolk Street, Sheffield, S1 2HU (Application No. 21/02206/FUL) be REFUSED, because Members of the Committee considered that the amenity impact on the residents surrounding the site (in terms of loss of light, loss of outlook and overdominance) was unacceptable due to the scale, massing and siting of the building. They also considered that the less than substantial harm to the heritage assets of the Prudential Assurance listed building and this part of the city centre conservation area was not outweighed by the benefits of the scheme. The mass and bulk of the building was unacceptable in this location, the final wording of the decision notice to be agreed with the Co-Chairs of the Planning and Highways Committee.
