Nice. This is the sort of exterior the city craves....I just hope more looking like this crop up, with an emphasis on being affordable and suitable for families. It works on the continent, it should work here

Another good example of decent quality new build alongside some quite awful buildings from the last 20 years in turn alongside some beautiful old industrial building..

Looks alright, cheap but well proportioned. No grumbles from me.

Planning permission has been denied due to it being too tall... Apprently because it doesnt step down to the low rise buildings opposite it would act like a monolith.

Surely it's the low rise buildings opposite which is bad planning and design and this is trying to rectify that? The design and access statement even says this on the planning application.

How does one become qualified to become a member of the planning department?

Too tall? Are they for real? I'm all for harmonisation of new builds, but it's 18m tall for goodness sake.

This proposal is totally crap.

A bone of contention with this scheme is that the developer without permission demolished a listed building (a 3 storey public house), within a conservation area.

Many residents of Portland Square objected to the massing and height of the proposal. The scheme was refused twice! and then also refused twice when the developer appealed to the planning inspectorate.

If you were to visit the site you would see that the proposed massing just doesn't seem right.

The developer would be better off scaling back the proposal (one less floor and/or less bulky)

Shouldn't the developer be in court for demolishing a listed building without permission?

Where was this pub? certainly been nothing but a surface carpark here since 1999 (as far back as google earth imagery goes)

The Sir Walter Raleigh -

Hadn't realised they had knocked this down, or that it was listed, I remember it from ~2010 when I lived out that way, was awful and not worth keeping.

pretty average building on first glance, but still better designed than the building behind it

And it looks like the building behind it is actually a hideous extension to quite a nice old industrial building. What is wrong with these developers and planners, surely things should get better over time not worse!

A planning app has been submitted for a revised scheme, the design remains mostly the same along Raleigh Street, however a portion of the Stoneleigh St has been reduced to a single storey due to right to light issues. The unit count has been reduced to 14 from 18 previously.
