Power Station Site, Skerne Road

A NEW planning application (08/12146/FUL) has been submitted by NHP Leisure Developments Ltd for a mixed use scheme

The developers are now proposing to build (a) a part 6/part 7/part 8 storey building on the east side of site around the EDF substation (on Skerne Road) for a 180 bedroom hotel (with conference, banqueting and meeting facilities) and 121 flats; and (b) 2 blocks (part 6/part8 and part 9/part 11 storey) providing 235 flats on the west part of the site (the Riverside); together with parking and amenity space.

These latest proposals are different from those previously refused permission in October 2007 (06/12424/FUL) in the following respects:

The Riverside proposals:

  • have been entirely redesigned;
  • there would be two blocks arranged around a central courtyard;
  • the overall height of the proposals has been reduced;
  • there would be 13 more flats in this part of the site;
  • vehicular access to the site remains off Henry MacCauley Avenue but the entrance to the underground parking has been relocated further south within the site.

The Skerne Road proposals:

  • there are detailed changes to the external appearance and its scale and mass;
  • the proposed hotel has been increased from 150 to 180 bedrooms;
  • the proposed flats have been redesigned internally, some are enlarged and thus there would be 27 fewer flats in this block.

This application was approved by the Development Control Committee on the 27 May 2008 subject to the satificatory agreement of a planning obligations agreement.  To view the details of the application please follow the link below:  

The previous application, although refused, has been appealed by the applicant and a public inquiry is to be held on the 24 June 2008.  The details of the previous application can also be found by following the link below.  The proof of evidence that has been submitted to the appeal can be found by following the link to the left.
