\n Repairs and alterations are among proposals to “enhance” two buildings dating back to the 19th Century on the High Street in Lowestoft.\n<\/p>\n
\n A scheme has been lodged that aims “to repair and rejuvenate” both buildings and all three shops at 70-71 and 72 High Street in Lowestoft.\n<\/p>\n
\n Plans lodged with East Suffolk Council last month centre around “Replace shopfronts at 70-71 High Street with traditional timber designs” along with “Repairs to 72 High Street shopfront.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Consisting of “three commercial ground floor properties,” the application is currently awaiting decision.\n<\/p>\n
\n It said the project is part of the Historic England-funded Partnership Schemes in Conservation Areas (PSiCA) scheme.\n<\/p>\n
\n A design and access statement submitted by Kings & Dunne Architects and commissioned by East Suffolk Council on behalf of the applicant Ian Peters said: “The new shop fronts have been designed carefully with historic research into the details of shop fronts and the building itself to produce a new design that will not only benefit the buildings, but also the area, the conservation area and wider society as well.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The proposals aim to repair and rejuvenate both 70-71 and 72 High Street, by providing more appropriate shopfronts and signage, as well as repairing elements of both elevations.”\n<\/p>\n
\n With a “new improved, more traditional shopfront,” earmarked for 70-71 High Street, it proposes the removal of the existing shop windows, both shop doors, and the residential door.\n<\/p>\n
\n The proposals earmark “less dramatic changes to the shopfront” at 72 High Street, but the works would see “many areas of repair and redecoration.\n<\/p>\n
\n It adds: “The use of 70, 71 and 72 High Street as shops with residential units above, will not change.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The proposals aim to improve the shopfronts and undertake repairs to improve the quality and aesthetics of the buildings.”\n<\/p>\n
\n East Suffolk Council is likely to make a decision in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Repairs and alterations are among proposals to “enhance” two buildings dating back to the 19th Century on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":318792,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-318791","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-design","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318791"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318791\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
