We do not feel that the current application, or the
level of information that has been provided, is of a sufficiently quality –
particularly given that it proposes the removal the ‘A’ listed Gillespie, Kidd
and Coia student residences. We recognise that the application is still
at outline stage. However, we are concerned that, if approved, certain
design principles would be established in terms of the site layout, road
networks, landscape and building distribution. At the moment there is insufficient
material provided to fully understand the implications of these aspects, or how
the designs would impact on the surrounding context. We strongly
recommend that the Council should request additional information before
processing the application – including a full site analysis, contextual site
sections, contextual elevations and 3D visualisations.
We would be happy to comment on the proposals in more detail once additional
information has been provided.
