A planning application has been submitted to build three floors of flats above part of the Triangle Restaurant on Ferme Park Road by the junction with Stapleton Hall Road.  Most of the local landmark restaurant would be demolished, and an extra house added to the end of the terrace, and the restaurant then rebuilt.

The Council’s planning department say that residents can make comments – supporting or objecting to the application – up to mid September, before they make a decision. You can view the application and comment online.

Cllrs Ed Butcher, Katherine Reece and Richard Wilson have already submitted some comments asking for the design to be sympathetic to the conservation area and for the restaurant façade to be preserved.  They’ve also responded to concerns from the next door Mind Centre for people with mental health problems and urged the Council to make sure their garden is not overshadowed or overlooked by the new flats.
