A plan to “enhance” the entrance to Scarborough’s iconic St Nicholas Gardens, has been welcomed by councillors.
The authority’s planning committee yesterday granted planning permission for a new sign to create an archway at the bottom of the gardens.
A report prepared for the committee stated that the application was seeking consent for the “display of one non-illuminated steel sign to be mounted atop the existing 2.65m tall stone pillars marking the easternmost entrance of St Nicholas Gardens from Foreshore Road.”
It added:
“In terms of its design, formed from steel, the sign will make an archway between the existing stone entrance pillars and 300mm deep silhouette lettering will form the words ‘St Nicholas Gardens’.
“Its maximum height measured from the ground will be approximately 4.3 metres.”
The plans were approved unanimously by the planning committee with Cllr Glenn Goodberry saying:
“This archway actually enhances the entrance to these gardens and I can only think it is an improvement to what is there.”
The gardens on the top of the cliff were re-designed and constructed in 1900 in preparation of the opening of Scarborough’s new Town Hall.
After the Town Hall was opened in 1903, the wooded, grassy area down the cliff was re-designed into terraced walks with flights of steps and seating.
