Grafton Area of Major Change SPD 2017

Representation ID: 32014

Received: 05/11/2017

Respondent: Mx Valerie Cornish

Representation Summary:

The recent development trend in the city has been to build ever higher buildings. To continue this in the Grafton Centre area is particularly detrimental to the largely Victorian residential surrounding area. Whereas it is clear why developers are eager to 'over develop' expensive, city centre sites, the consequences on adjacent areas is very damaging.
The recent tower on the Fire Station site has shocked us all, and destroyed the relationship with nearby Georgian buildings. More of this is most unwelcome.
