Plans to build a three-storey block of flats close to Wellington town centre have been withdrawn, after receiving objections from town residents and the council’s highways team.
The developer of the land opposite the Glebe Centre says he is now"happy to reduce the scheme" for the 12-flat apartment block.
The council’s highways department objected to the scheme, saying there was a"significant shortfall" in the level of proposed parking.The highways department concluded: “Given the shortfall in parking as well as no demonstrable cycle parking facilities, it is highly likely that parking will overspill on to the adopted highway which is something the local highway authority would want to avoid.
Also objecting to the scheme was the council’s built heritage specialist who commented that area close to the proposed site is ‘currently undergoing a transformation’ with ‘unappealing apartment blocks’ bulldozed in favour of a new housing development consisting of bungalows as well as two and three-bedroom homes and small apartments.
They also added that the proposed parking at the front of the building would"create an unwelcome urban aesthetic".
