Sites 4A, 4B & 4C
Three groups of properties within the Duke Street Conservation Area.
LOCATION
Site 4A - 75-81 Paradise Street
Site 4B - 11-17 Hanover Street
Site 4C - 19-25 Hanover Street
URBAN FORM
Through retention of existing buildings, where appropriate, and sensitive new infill buildings the continuity of scale of buildings in Hanover Street is to be restored and a sympathetic refurbishment of the buildings on Paradise Street achieved. Where the masterplan indicates closure of some existing streets, these are marked by breaks in the building line or courtyards. The architect's response to this site has been to respect the nature and context of the area. The frontage of the Paradise Street pub to be rebuilt whilst retaining some original facade features and compatible scale. Other improvements include well mannered facades along Hanover Street combined with exciting side wall treatments.
USES
Site 4A - Ground floor shops and Public House with residential accommodation above.
Site 4B - Retain existing business and gallery uses in Hanover Galleries. Retail to the Ground Floor of 15-17 Hanover Street. Residential above.
Site 4C - Stanley Building to be refurbished and remodelled to provide speciality retail units on the ground and lower ground floors. Business use above.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION
Service access will be via Hanover Street at the existing New Manesty's Lane, down to an underground service area.
MATERIALS
To be in sympathy with the brick and terracotta context. The pub has render on Paradise Street but otherwise new brickwork is blended with old. Side elevations off Hanover Street introduce steel panels and glass to give contrast and highlights of colour.
