Description
The property, an established university campus, is situated on a broadly rectangular shaped plot in the residential district of St Pauls.
The 1.9 hectare (4.69 acre) site, owned by University Of Gloucestershire, includes the administration centre,
four student accommodation blocks, and the Centre for Art and Photography; a former sports hall which currently has a café and a range of creative facilities and spaces including galleries, photography and fine art studios.
There are also a number of surfaced car parks and Hardwick Green, a large open amenity space.
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
A pre-application planning document for residential redevelopment, submitted by Quattro Design Architects and Black Box Planning, was well received by the Local Authority.
The Planning Officer’s report is available to download and the salient points are:
The principle of residential redevelopment is supported.
The scheme would be considered in-light of the presumption favouring development given the shortfall of housing land in the area.
In the context of the private green space policy D3, Hardwick Green makes a positive contribution to the townscape but is not considered ‘significant’ and would only carry limited weight in any decision. The provision of public open space including a play area is supported.
The overall density, layout and pattern of development in the pre-app submission and the siting of a 3-storey apartment block at the south of the site are considered appropriate and acceptable.
The frontage on Marsh Lane and the allocation of parking requires consideration.
The site has capacity for the 69 dwellings indicated and the general arrangement including; public open space, garden sizes and 2 parking spaces per dwelling is supported.
PROPOSAL
Offers are invited for the freehold interest with vacant possession on a conditional and unconditional basis. The deadline for offers to be submitted is 5pm on Friday 4th October 2024.
