planning brief - prepared June 2000 by Fylde Borough Council on the St Annes college site. The section relating to re-use of the listed building reads thus: |
|
| 7.1 | The former college building was designed as a school which is reflected in its internal plan, its ceiling heights and thus its internal form. With buildings of this nature the best way of preserving their continued upkeep is one of finding economically viable uses which are at the same time compatible with the historic integrity of the building. Given the internal plan it might prove almost impossible to satisfactorily convert the building into residential units because of the size and shape of rooms, the associated ceiling heights and associated window proportions, without serious harm to the integrity of the building's interior. |
| 7.2 | As the building has always had public associations, it could quite readily convert to provide "community uses" which could be mixed in nature and include rooms for hire, performance space, gallery or exhibition space and rented office or studio space. It may also be possible to utilise, say, part of the ground floor for communal space to be associated with a residential development. |
| 7.3 | There is significant interest from the public in securing a "community" use for the "listed " building and any developer interested in acquiring the site should show how any new build would relate to the retained listed building and its associated uses. On a site of this size, it is considered a reasonable requirement to require a planning obligation relating to the retention, refurbishment and re-use of the listed building element, as part of a comprehensive development of the site. |
