Policy VC5: Developing St Peter’s Court
Improvements to or redevelopment of St Peter’s Court must support the Village Centre by following the principles set out below:
- Proposals for mixed-use redevelopment of St Peter’s Court will be permitted provided that the principal use on the site is retail (use classes A1 and A3). Retail uses should be located at ground fl oor with their main frontage onto the existing High Street following the historic line of development along the High Street. Residential uses (use class C3) and office uses (use class B1) will be permitted at upper floors. The exact quantum of development is not fi xed by this policy. St Peter’s Court presents an opportunity to provide smaller residential units (1-2 bedroom homes) and any residential proposals put forward as part of an application should include smaller units.
- New development must:
- create a positive building frontage onto the High Street that refl ects the historic building line. New development must respect the scale and character of the High Street;
- carefully design the corner elements of the new frontage development to be positive features within key views along the High Street and the approach to the Village Centre from the A413 roundabout;
- provide parking to serve the retail development on site. This should be behind the building line and be overlooked by active frontages;
- retain or re-provide the existing public conveniences located on the High Street;
- retain the opportunity for a future pedestrian/ cycle link between the site and Hiljon Crescent;
- explore the opportunity for de-culverting the River Misbourne on site; and
- respect the setting of nearby listed buildings particularly in relation to siting, scale and detailing.
