The site is located within the City Centre where office development is supported by Local Development Plan polices Del 2 City Centre and Emp 1 Office Development. The proposal will not detrimentally harm the character or appearance of the adjacent conservation area or the setting of the nearby listed buildings. The design, materials and layout reflect that of an office development within a city centre location. Overall, there will be some impacts on neighbouring residential amenity and loss of open space, but these need to be considered against the backdrop of a city centre location and the benefits which the proposal will bring. The development is acceptable in relation to transport, drainage, archaeology and sustainability matters. A legal agreement in relation to a contribution to the tram and conditions in relation to materials and contaminated land are recommended.
