Cllr. Clegg said the modern design of the first set of buildings was "soulless, dull and uninspiring". Some other members tended to agree with her. The developer had provided an artist's impression which made the buildings look yellow, with blue glass windows. The officer assured the committee that the walls would be in different colours of brickwork to give variety, rather than the uniform yellow shown on the artist's impression. He declared that the buildings would be brick not stucco. The blue glass was just artistic licence. Several councillors persisted in thinking the design disappointing.
Cllr. Cluer was concerned about environmental issues and energy conservation. She asked, for example, whether the windows would open (presumably so that air-conditioning would not be constant). She did not get a straight answer, but was assured that such issues would have been considered.
07/00879/FL -
Construction of new electricity sub-station, Peasholm Gap, Scarborough - REFUSED (9-6)
The USG objected to the application on the grounds that the design was unsuitable given its prominent location.
