Planning application submitted for proposed Sugar Quay
development
A full planning application has been submitted to Plymouth City
Council by waterfront regeneration specialist and real estate
developer Sutton Harbour Holdings plc as it progresses to develop
the prime Sugar Quay site fronting Plymouth's historic Sutton
Harbour waterfront.
Sutton Harbour Holdings (SHH) plc has drawn up detailed
proposals to regenerate and enhance this prominent site overlooking
Sutton Harbour, which has been awaiting development for over a
decade, for the benefit of Plymouth's residents and visitors.
The mixed use scheme proposes 7 to 19 stories of residential
apartments built within staggered heights in a T-shape, tiered
development, creating up to 170 high quality, one to three-bed
apartments. A ground floor will open onto a widened walkway and new
entrance to the harbourfront for improved pedestrian movement and
enjoyment of Sutton Harbour, and enliven the east side of the
harbour with commercial uses such as retail and restaurant
units.
As part of its Vision for Sutton Harbour to regenerate the
waterfront, an enhanced urban realm surrounding the new building
will enable the public to better enjoy its unrivalled south
west-facing position. To achieve this public realm at ground level,
the scheme will include a basement car park for approximately 100
vehicles.
A secondary, linked planning application proposes to add two
additional floors to the Harbour Car Park multi-storey facility in
Lockyers Quay, creating an additional approx. 150 spaces, to
provide further public car parking facilities to support expected
visitor growth in the area, as well as additional parking for
residents of Sugar Quay.
The plans have been informed by direct participation in the
design of the scheme by officials and officers of Plymouth City
Council during and since the pre-application consultation process,
as well as by feedback received from local residents, businesses,
community groups and stakeholders during the public consultation
process, enabling SHH plc to review and incorporate changes.
In parallel with the pre-application consultation process with
the local authority, a full public consultation about the scheme
was held last month, including three public exhibitions to showcase
the plans to local residents and interested parties.
Plans for the extension to Harbour Car Park were amended to take
into account some issues raised by residents living nearby, and the
proposals now show a reduced area for the planned extension on the
south western corner closest to nearby properties.
SHH plc has now submitted a full planning application to
Plymouth City Council featuring designs by Plymouth-based
architects AWW.
SHH plc has been advised that the application is being processed
and it is hoped the plans will be approved in the fourth quarter of
2018.
Following permissions being granted, SHH plc aims to develop
Sugar Quay so that part of the building's structure could be used
as a viewing platform and exhibition space during the Mayflower 400
celebrations in 2020, with the full development completing by
2022.
Philip Beinhaker, Executive Chairman of Sutton Harbour Holdings
plc, said: "Our Vision is to regenerate Plymouth's historic Sutton
Harbour and transform this waterfront quarter into a more
attractive, welcoming and usable area for the city and its
residents, as well as creating an outstanding opportunity for
people to live on the harbourfront. Sugar Quay would be a
development of great visual interest able to act as a landmark for
the city, as well as a sentinel for the harbour, framing the
waterfront of Britain's Ocean City.
"The proposals for Sugar Quay are contemporary and striking, and
have been designed to both unlock the huge potential of this long
empty site, to create an attractive new development to enliven the
harbour, and in particular the under-utilised east side, as well as
providing high quality new homes to meet pent up market demand for
residential properties in the harbour.
"The designs have been carefully prepared so as not to block the
views of people living and working in adjacent properties, while
the staggered heights and T-shape of the Sugar Quay building will
enable each new apartment and commercial units to benefit from
natural sunlight and views of the Marina. The building's angled
form and sculpted peak at the northeast corner will provide a
sentinel identifying Sutton Harbour and enrich the Plymouth
skyline.
"We have taken on board the views, many constructive and
positive, shared with us by officers and planners at the city
council and by the local residents, stakeholders and businesses who
took part in the consultation process, and revised our proposals
accordingly.
"We hope to secure planning consent from the local authority in
order to begin work on site next June."
