URGENT

URGENT – URGENT – URGENT The Palais de-Danse building needs you to write individually to Mr Martin Mansell. You can either write a letter or an email but it must be in your own words. It may be that council doesn’t need to take notice of a petition in a planning application matter. The legal outline says that you must write individually in your own words. Put your Bolton address on your letter. You need to focus the content of your letter on planning issues – anything outside of planning issues he doesn’t have to take note of, so the fact that you met your husband there might be irrelevant to town planning but feel free to mention it in a small way. Your stronger points will be the age of the building as it was built in 1928 in the Art Deco Era and should be restored in a faïence façade, which is a fine tin-glazed pottery on a delicate pale buff earthenware body. The design and the materials are the original features of that corner block building that we know as the Palais. The original tiles are still on the buildings although they are behind the cladding. However you write it, make sure to mention that you do not wish to see the vintage building demolished as you believe it to be structurally sound. All of this needs to be in your own words, but it can be similar to what you have read so far on the page. Your second point should be in regards to the new building if you believe that it doesn’t fit in with the Conservation Zone. Conservation Zones must be protected by Bolton Council, using materials that fit in with the age and design of the buildings around them. If you believe that the glass and metal on the proposed design does not fit in with the Conservation Zone then feel free to make that comment – if you do not like the look of the new design that is also a fair comment when opposing a planning permission, but do say why you don’t like it. Do mention the WWII history of the building but Council may not need to listen to that when deciding whether or not to grant planning permission – make most of your comments about planning of the town – building materials are the biggest item to refusing permission to demolish or to allowing a new build. Clay tiles were on the original building and that building is truly from 1928 not 2017. Aim to save historical buildings in Bolton and create a tourist zone to bring people into your town.
