Existing building The site is presently configured as two buildings: numbers eleven and thirteen Park Gate road. Number 13 has most recently traded as a fish and chip shop, but is now empty. Both buildings are built tight to the pavement with a limited backyard to the rear. The entrance to number 13’s shop front is via a recessed section of the elevation on the corner. The elevations are formed in masonry and are two storey’s high. Number 13 is currently in some state of disrepair when viewed through the shop frontage. A mismatch of materials and elements at the rear are also visually unappealing as is the longer view into the rear of the adjacent gardens and outbuildings. The site is arguably increasingly at odds with the scale of development around it in the immediate and wider area. In this setting it occupies a very prominent site and is a notable element in any view of the surrounding larger and more contemporary buildings. It is these views of the site and its parade in the wider context that set the context.
