APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies for absence were received from Dr. Philip Booth (University of Sheffield), Miss Ruth Harman (Victorian Society), Professor Clyde Binfield (20th Century Society) and Mr. Bob Hawkins (Council for the Protection of Rural England). 2. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Deputy Chair (Mr. Hale) welcomed Councillor Mike Davis who was attending a meeting of the Group for the first time. 3. MINUTES The minutes of the meeting held on 25th November, 2008 were approved as a correct record, subject to the addition in item 2, of the words “Mr. Stan Jones and Mr. Bob Hawkins would visit Cowmouth Farm” and in Item 7, of the words “The Group regretted the loss of a Georgian terrace of buildings on London Road, adjacent to the Albion Public House” and, arising therefrom, the Group noted that:- (a) the demolition of the Georgian terrace of buildings, on London Road was not unauthorised development and there were no grounds for taking enforcement action; (b) new proposals which had been submitted regarding the development of the Tapton Halls of Residence, Crookes, particularly regarding the Walled Garden, would be considered at the next meeting; and (c) further consideration of the Milton Street Conservation Area was in abeyance, because priority had been given to the Grenoside Conservation Area Assessment, for which public consultations would commence next month; and Meeting of the Sheffield Conservation Advisory Group 27.1.2009 Page 2 (d) there had been no further development regarding the Norfolk Arms Public House, Ringinglow, but the property had not been sold. 4. CHAIR’S REPORT The Deputy Chair (Mr. Hale) stated that he had nothing to report. 5. HEAD OF PLANNING’S REPORT The Head of Planning reported that 130-150 buildings had been considered in a review of listed buildings within the City. (a) 30 of the buildings had been added to the national List of Buildings of Special or Historic Interest and the remainder would form the basis of a local list. A full schedule of the listed buildings, (which had formed part of the Sheffield Metal Trades Analysis, commencing in 2000), would be submitted to the next meeting; and (b) full consultations regarding the Grenoside Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals would commence in February and copies of them would be available at the City Council’s website, the Central Library and local libraries and at First Point, Howden House. The excluded buildings were, essentially, developments carried out during the 1960s. A map indicating the exclusions would be submitted to the next meeting. The consultation period would end on 28th February, 2009. 6. PRE -APPLICATION PROPOSALS University of Sheffield Arts Tower Removal of the existing cladding and re-cladding of floors 1-18 and the removal and replacement of aluminium louvres from Floor 19 upwards, at the University of Sheffield’s Arts Tower, Western Bank (Listed Grade II*). Alan Robshaw, HLM Architects, gave a presentation on the proposal. The Group regretted the lack of earlier investigation of the cladding system, which might have allowed for a development of a bespoke replacement cladding. The Group felt that, in view of the fact that the building was the first postwar building of its type and had spoken a new language for architecture, a replacement of bespoke design would be justified, rather than a market version replacement. The Group wondered whether the Arts Tower would retain its listed status, if the entire external cladding was replaced. The Group considered that scaled down physical models of a section of the existing cladding and proposed cladding would enable better assessment of the effect and impact of the proposed changes and that a digital model of the Arts Tower, indicating the existing and proposed cladding and showing the wider context of the scheme, including the views towards the University’s Campus and Weston Park, would be helpful in assessing the proposals. Tesco Superstore Erection of store and associated retail outlets at Spital Hill, Savile Street and Carlisle Street (affects setting of listed buildings on Grade Meeting of the Sheffield Conservation Advisory Group 27.1.2009 Page 3 II* and II) The Group welcomed the proposed preservation of the retaining wall and railway tunnel within the site. The Group felt that the design of the proposed development was less robust and weaker than that of the retaining wall, the tunnel and adjoining Wicker Arches. The Group queried the need for the proposed wire mesh material and suggested that a specimen should be submitted, to enable consideration of the proposals. The Group felt that if the atrium was pointed towards Wicker Arches, it would have greater practical use. The Group considered that, while it was straightforward to follow the submitted coloured plans, a model of the development would be useful, showing the development in a wider context, particularly indicating the view through Wicker Arches Sheffield High School, 6 th Form College Construction of a two storey extension to form new classrooms and ancillary facilities at Sheffield High School, 6th Form College, 1 Melbourne Avenue (Listed Grade II and within Broomhill Conservation Area). The Group felt that the combination of materials was unusual, particularly the use of timber, which was at variance with the materials of the listed buildings. The Group considered that the design should emphasise the fact that it was a new extension building and that the extension should be freestanding with, if necessary, a covered walkway. The Group felt that the curved Sedum roof was alien to the conservation area. The Group also regretted the use of cedar cladding which would be visible from Glossop Road and a substantial wider area on the non-public side of the building. The Group considered that the scheme would be unacceptable and affirmed its previous decisions regarding, the construction of an extension at the site. 7. BUILDINGS OF SPECIAL ARCHITECTURAL OR HISTORIC INTEREST The Group considered the following applications for planning permission for development affecting buildings of special architectural or historic interest and made the observations stated:- (a) removal and replacement of internal doors/existing timber petition walls and fireproofing of steel windows on fire exit route, at Sheffield Central Library, Surrey Street (Case No.08/05959/LBC). The Group felt that there was no objection in principle to the proposals, but regretted the loss of so many original features. The Group requested that alternative uses be found for the existing doors, if possible and that in any event the features, including the doors, should be retained. The Group considered that, as far as possible, the replacement features should reiterate the patterning and detail of the original features. (b) erection of five dwellinghouses and associated parking at the Orchard, Foxhill Crescent (Case No.08/05771/FUL) (affects setting of listed building on Grade II). The Group felt that the height of the development was excessive and the design did not acknowledge the design of the surrounding houses. The Group considered that the proposed development, of four houses, Meeting of the Sheffield Conservation Advisory Group 27.1.2009 Page 4 would be overdevelopment of the site and that the erection of three houses would be more realistic. The Group believed that the proposed location of parking would damage the environment of the adjacent houses and any parking should be constructed with substantial screening. The Group felt that the development would have a damaging impact on the setting of the listed building and it was therefore unacceptable. The Group also observed that there was a discrepancy between the submitted elevations and plans and requested that a tree survey of the site be obtained. 8. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS Members of the Group reported on development affecting listed buildings and conservation areas and the Group noted that:- (a) various features, particularly the arch at Kangaroo Works, Wellington Street, which formed part of the site of the multi-storey car park serving Hammersons’ development, Sevenstone, would be re-erected to form the entrance to the new Hawley Collection Building at Kelham Island Museum. The arch itself would be moved when funding was secured. The application for planning permission for the development of Sevenstone was being processed; (b) the Director of Planning would furnish Mr. Jones with plans and other documents and photographs relating to Cowmouth Farm, which Mr. Jones would survey once access was granted; and (c) the funding was available for the development of the Brooklyn Bridge and the various permissions had been obtained for the scheme. The cause of the delay in its implementation was unknown. The Director of Planning would attempt to ascertain what the reason was for the delay. NOTE: (An application for the partial demolition, refurbishment and alterations to buildings to form 77 apartments and 78 square metres of office accommodation at Portland Works, Randall Street (Case Nos. 08/ 01851/LBC and 08/01850/FUL) was withdrawn from consideration by the Group). (Councillor Mike Davis declared an interest as a substitute member of the City Centre, South and East and West and North Planning and Highways Area Boards, in relation to those planning applications that would be considered by the Boards, but he stated that he would participate in the determination of the applications by the Boards, as he would not pre-determine his views on the applications during the meeting of the Advisory Group).

  • Sheffield Patrol Group
    SHEFFIELD PATROL GROUP presents SHEFFIELD Poor wretch! who once hath paced that dolent city Shall pace it often, doomed beyond all pity, With horror ever deepening from the first... A local community leader pauses from discussion with a trainee Robocop to look suspiciously towards the photographer. Abbeyfield Park is in Burngreave, Sheffield and the festival was an attempt at promoting community cohesion in a multicultural area of the city characterised by high levels of unemployment and poverty. It was a pleasant day and a substantial crowd had gathered to smoke dope, drink Special Brew, graze on street food and enjoy a programme of second rate music. Zion Train were the headlining act, but they didn’t manage to make it on stage due to a bomb scare bringing the event to a premature end. The festival was held just a few days after the murderous outrage perpetrated on the citizens of London by a nihilistic death squad protesting global injustice in the name of Islam. Despite the atmosphere of fear and paranoia that reigned throughout England at the time, the evacuation of the festival was calm and orderly. The legacy of kowtowing to paternalistic authority that marks the post- industrial cities of Britain has its virtues. The cancelled event was restaged in September. 2 There seem to be a lot of hairdressing salons in the English-speaking world that refer to the Acropolis in their business names. I don’t know why. Maybe the caryatids of the Porch of the Maidens on the Erechtheion are renowned for their quality hair-dos? Langsett Road in Sheffield seems to have little in common with Athens.

  • Kelham Island Circular Walk
    Kelham Island Circular Walk ‘Industrial Sheffield’ Walk summary: A short pavement walk around this once heavily industrialised area with grand buildings Page | 1 from the 18th & 19th centuries. Distance: 1.6 miles / 2.6 kilometres Duration: approximately 1 hour not including stops Terrain: Flat, pavement walking Nearest Car Park: On road parking or RCP Parking Ltd, Corporation Street/Bridge Street, S3 8RG. Nearest Super Tram Stop: Shalesmoor 1. Kelham Island Museum Sheffield began to develop into an important industrial centre during the late 18th and early 19th century as a result of its specialisation in metal working. Harnessing water-power was key to the development of Kelham Island and the surrounding area for industry. The Kelham Island Conservation Area reflects the importance of this area and its development. Walk up Kelham Island with the mill race on your right Kelham Island isn’t really an island but a man-made spit of land resulting from the construction of the mill race in the 12th century. The mill race or ‘goit’ diverted water from the River Don to power a corn mill situated at Millsands near Lady’s Bridge that belonged to the Lord of the Manor. Apparently the island was named after the Town Armourer, Kellam Homer, who set up a grinding workshop in 1637. Some water still flows in to the goit and you can see the nine pillars or footings of the Britannia Corn Mill which sat astride the goit. The buildings were demolished in 1975. From here the goit is culverted running beneath Alma Street with the outfall on Nursery Street.

Register at www.saveyourpintlobby.org.uk INSIDE BEER MATTERS THIS ISSUE... Duncan Gilmour... who he? What goes into planning a Beer Festival? 2013 Members’ Weekend details revealed Plus all of your Pub, Club, Brewery and Beer Festival news! 2 Welbeck Brewery - www.welbeckabbeybrewery.co.uk This last month has been extremely busy, with getting the bottled beers ready for Christmas and supplying many pubs with our beers. The West Australian 4.6% Aussie IPA went down fantastically well in many pubs, although a few more hop-shy drinkers thought it was a tad OTT. The beer for October is a slightly more sedate Autumnal brew – Bay Middleton is a rich chestnut coloured Autumn Ale at 3.8%, brewed simply with English Roasted barley and Goldings. November will see Ernest George making reappearance through until March next year as our seasonal ale. It’s a Deep Ruby Ale at 4.2%, full of chocolate and dark spiced fruit flavours. Make sure you enjoy it over the next few months. Our Christmas beers will be going out to pubs from the last week in November. We’ve decided to do an English Christmas beer with a twist so look out for something exciting (especially if you’re a chocaholic …) and an Aussie Xmas Ale which will whisk you away to warmer climes. We’re coming up to Christmas, and on the 24th and 25th is the Welbeck Christmas market which is well worth a visit.
