All rights reserved. 10018816. 2005 LOCATION AND PROPOSAL This application relates to the site of the recently completed but presently unoccupied development at 65-69 Division Street, which is now referred to as ‘The Point’. The development is bounded by Division Street to the north, Rockingham Lane to the east, Division Lane to the south and the adjacent buildings at 71 (Green and Benz jewellers) and 73-75 Division Street to the west. The Point extends to five storeys in height with the top floor set back from the front elevation to ensure an appropriate relationship to Division Street. It is constructed in a palette of red and black brickwork and ‘Trespa’ cladding panels in corresponding shades of grey. The Point presently comprises two commercial units to the ground floor providing 152 square metres of retail space (Use Class A1) and 181 square metres of 10 café/restaurant space (Use Class A3) with a third café/restaurant unit (Use Class A3) of 403 square metres at first floor level. On the second to fifth floor, the development provides a total of 27 residential units comprising 21 x studio apartments and 6 x 1 bedroom flats. This is a full planning application seeking to alter the first floor of this recently completed development, which is presently designated as an A3 café/restaurant, to create an additional 6 apartments. The applicant has advised that the first floor unit has been marketed for some time prior to the completion of the development without success. It is a substantial A3 unit and in the present economic climate, it is their view that they will be unable to secure an appropriate occupier. In preference to a vacant unit, the applicant therefore seeks to create a further 6 residential units, comprising 1 x studio, 4 x 1 bedroom units (including one mobility unit) and a 1 x 2 bedroom mobility unit, which are considered more marketable in this location.
