The first floor planters will be retained and used for shrubbery instead
A row over landscaping around a proposed new landmark hotel looks set to be resolved after the developer agreed to pay out for tree planting elsewhere.
The application is now set to go back before the council’s Planning Committee on Tuesday December 10 with a recommendation for approval. But hopes of putting 26 ornamental trees in planters at first floor level have been dashed as they would be too heavy. Instead the developer has agreed to pay £26,000 towards off-site tree planting.Town hall planners say the revised landscaping proposals “would provide good quality hard and soft landscaping” which would preserve the character of the Town Centre Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II* listed Winter Gardens.
