PLANNING ROUND-UP: Planning permission is being sought to remove ‘non-compliant’ cladding with industry standard materials at a block of town centre flats.

The Skyline Flats, on Heelis Street, are the subject of the application which was submitted to the council earlier last week.

If approved, work to replace the existing cladding panels with suitable compliant materials in line with current legislation will take place.

A report states: “The building for development ranges from five to 12 storeys in height with a beige, rendered plinth level and metal cladding to the upper floors.

“All works are remedial and subject to current legislation. The proposal is for the replacement of non-compliant materials with compliant ones and a ‘like for like’ appearance is to be achieved as far as feasibly possible.

“Exact materials and standardisation of cladding panels to be agreed.

“No alterations are proposed to layout, access, landscaping or use under this application.”
