Le Carbone, The Old Brewery, 37 South Street, Portslade

BH2022/03260

Supporting information received from the applicant setting out details of the initial interest and uptake of membership for the gym from local residents in and surrounding Portslade Old Village, noting that as can be seen from the initial uptake and reviews, there is an appetite for what we have created in the local area. They believe that INTENT91 adds a new and exciting prospect for the Portslade Old Village. It is also stated that the gym endeavours to give back to the local community by providing collection baskets for food banks in their premises as well as providing school tours which educate children on nutrition and exercise as well as fundraising for charity.

 

Comment: It is not considered that the above correction or additional information changes any element of the proposal, or the current considerations/ assessment of the proposal as set out in the Officer Report.

 

Correction of Councillor Hamilton Objection dated 25th November 2022 - should read;

 

“I object most strongly to this application. The original approval included the provision of 61 B1 uses on the ground floor to include artists studios and galleries, a community space and a cafe. Many residents felt this was reasonable and did not object. They now realise that none of this will be provided! Class E would allow almost anything here, such as a Tesco, a charity shop, a takeaway or other uses not consistent with the historic nature of Portslade Village Conservation Area. The public have been led up the garden path. If the recommendation is to approve I wish the application to come to committee and I will exercise my right to come and speak against the proposal.”

Condition 1 

List of drawings updated below:

 

Councillor Representations:

 

Representations have been received from Councillors O’Quinn and Allcock, both objecting to the application (see attached).

Comment in response to Councillor O’Quinn’s objection :

The Councillor notes concerns regarding the proximity of the extension to the common boundary and the resulting impact on neighbouring properties and trees. Whilst the current report doesn’t cover in detail previous applications on the site in relation to trees the trees and vegetation on the site that are part of this application have been addressed in the report. Concerns were also raised about access to the site as well as in relation to the ability to construct the development. The latter is not a planning matter, and the other issues have already been covered in the Officer Report.

 

 

Comment in response to Councillor Allcock’s objection:

The Councillor notes concerns regarding the dominating and overly intrusive appearance of the proposal and its impact on the boundary with no.24 Osmond Road.  Concerns have also been raised about the loss of greenery at the site, noting that it provided screening when the site redevelopment was allowed on appeal. The loss of trees and impacts on the adjacent property have already been covered in the Officer Report.

 

Additional representation:

One further representation has been received objecting to the proposed development and noting that the site boundaries were incorrect.

 

Comment:

As noted above, revised, corrected plans have been provided.
