Fresh plans have been submitted after a plan to turn an old bank into a pub was rejected for being 'over intensive'
Fresh plans have been submitted after a plan to turn an old bank into a pub was rejected for being 'over intensive'. A proposal to turn the old TSB bank in Plains Road, Mapperley, into a pub/restaurant and new ground floor shop with six apartments above it was turned down by the Gedling Borough Council on August 1.
The bank shut during Covid and has been vacant since February 2021. The council said the proposed extensions with different roof heights and styles "would result in an over intensive from of development" which would be "visually prominent and incongruous within the street scene." But now revised plans have been put forward, with the number of apartments reduced to four in an attempt to address the council's previous concerns. The rest of the plan has remained similar to the initial proposal.Opinions were divided on the previous planning application for the vacant bank building. According to a planning document, the prospective venue's hours of opening have now been agreed with the applicant to be 7.30am to midnight and 7.30am to 1.30am.
In a planning document, planning agent Enzygo Ltd, on behalf of applicant Hillcrest Properties Limited, said: "The proposed conversion of the old bank building will be sensitive in form that shall add to the amenity and vitality to the local centre, creating functional spaces for the end users, catering for the needs of the community, and breathing life into the high street which is vital to the long-term survival and growth of local centres.
"The applicant is developing the site, so subject to planning permission being secured, the site can be brought quickly back into use to provide employment opportunities and new residential properties. A number of end users have expressed an interest in the business space to be created with detailed negotiations taking place, subject to planning being secured." The planning application is pending consideration by Gedling Borough Council.
