·         Members agreed that this type of City Centre development should be supported, which is also providing employment which was important.   This was also considered an improvement on the previous scheme.

·         It was also agreed that this was a beautiful building and from a listed building point of view reassurances were sought that any internal alterations were monitored carefully.  The Interim Head of Development Management stated that this was specifically detailed in the application and would be monitored.

Public Representations

The following people had registered to speak on the application:

Tony Kelly (Objector representing both Farrier House Student Living and Virginia House on behalf of Mr and Mrs P. Boyd) and Melanie Green (Lotus Sanctuary in support of the application)

Key Points of Debate

·         The objector in addressing the Committee stated this area was already established as a student hub and was quite a vibrant area and relatively safe.  He was in favour of additional student accommodation which would support the local businesses. He referred to the regeneration plan for this area and did not see this proposal as enhancing the local facilities or businesses, although it was important that the homeless issue continues to be addressed.  Overall a good idea and smaller hubs would be better to integrate into communities, but this is the wrong location.  There were concerns that the management plan of the proposal was a bit sparse.  He stated that it was important to parents that students were accommodated in a safe environment.  Concerns were also raised on behalf of the Whitehouse Hotel who have had ongoing issues with the homeless.  The objector responded to a question from Members in relation to this.

·         The Regional Service Manager of Lotus Sanctuary, addressed the Committee in support of the application.  She provided background to the work of Lotus Sanctuary who already managed Pierpoint House.  This proposal will be identical, although different in size and would be supported in the same way, no complaints have been received with regard to the management of Pierpoint House.  She stated that Lotus Sanctuary were committee  to housing people with a low to medium support need, who are classed as homeless, but does not mean they are rough  ...  view the full minutes text for item 84.
