It also wants a proposed archway on Moore Street to be replaced with a “more restrained opening”.
The first three applications, which focus on Moore Street and Henry Street and include residential, hotel, retail, restaurant and cafe and cultural uses, were lodged withThe council has sought revisions to all three applications. At the southern end of the site Hammerson proposes a replacement building for number 41 Henry Street, while number 38 would be demolished for a passageway into the site.
The council said it accepts the principle of creating an opening into the site on Moore Street, but is concerned about the design of the proposed redbrick archway.
