2.3.5.4 Conversions
Representation ID: 70

Respondent: Leigh Society
Page 38. Checklist.
We think it would be useful, following the West Street alms houses upset, to include mention of historic buildings in the planning sensitive areas. Conservation areas and areas of special planning restraint, i.e Marine Parade Leigh, Undercliff Gardens and Burgess Estate, which latter seems to have been forgotton.
The Committee of the Leigh society welcome this draft Document.
It is clearly laid out, well designed and easy to read.
However, we feel it would be further improved if the sections in the Contents were labelled with page numbers for reference.
All in all this is a very welcome document and we commend the officers for their efforts.

Special care needs to be taken with the historic Georgian buildings and their windows from the bow windowed Lady Charlotte Denys's house at the bottom of Pier Hill eastwards, the Hope Hotel, the former court house adjacent to the Kursaal on the seafront and the wooden listed cottages further east.
The Society is concerned that the City Beach proposal should not damage but enhance these buildings.

There is a possible conflict here. Some proposals may damage a listed building, for example, one of the three Tudor fireplaces in the Crooked Billet was replaced with a modern fireplace a few years ago without permission as far as the society is aware.

The impressiion of this wording is that all Mansard roofs are ugly. Georgian mansard roofs are not ugly, and there are a few examples of good modern ones.

Page 99. Satellite dishes.
The text does not say that dishes will not be allowed on the front elevations of houses in conservation areas. We expect the strengthened enforcement team to pay special attention to these, which are springing up in Leigh.
