Different outcomes for applications regarding historic, listed buildings and three domestic applications are refused in this week's planning roundup. Railway Village : Drilling and removing mortar from the historic and listed wall of the GWR Carriage Works along Bristol Street will be allowed. Although the Borough Council’s conservation officer wanted more information initially regarding how much material would be pulled out, that request was satisfied by the information that the test is suspended at the first sight of movement, as this is when the strength resistance has been measured.
The tests will also involve inserting a camera into holes drilled into the wall. Approving the proposal, planners said: “It is considered that the works constitute maintenance and repair of the listed building only and will not have any impact upon its significance, safeguarding it for the future.” Old Town : The conversion of a former shoe shop in a listed building in Old Town into an estate agent’s offices has been put on hold.
Swindon Homefinders has withdrawn its plan to convert both storeys of 2 High Street, which wraps around the corner into Wood Street into open-plan offices.
