Commercial Units, Park Avenue, Springwood
UPDATE: Planning application refused on July 29, 2021
Comments made on behalf of Huddersfield Civic Society
The society has concerns about this application.
The Springwood Conservation Area appears to cut behind this site, presumably because the existing garages have no aesthetic or architectural value and are out of keeping with the character of the CA. However, as it lies adjacent to this area it should be expected to be constructed of natural stone with appropriate roofing materials.
It is also a highly intensive use of a restricted site, given the number of commercial units envisaged, with a corresponding level of traffic generation along a road that is primarily residential in nature and is already heavily used.
In conclusion, the society would recommend this application be refused.
