Abstract: |
Prior to the proposed construction of a single-storey stable block and yard area and an all-weather riding surface at Wennington Old Farm, Tatham, Lancaster, Lancashire, Greenlane Archaeology was commissioned to carry out a heritage impact assessment for the proposal. This follows on from a heritage assessment carried out previously ahead of proposed developments to the farmhouse, which is a Listed Building. Wennington Old Farm has already been substantially modernised, altered and extended. While there is some evidence for earlier fabric incorporated into the building, the most evident part being the datestone of 1688, the core of the current property is a double-pile plan house of probable early 18th century origin. There will be some visual impact upon the setting of the farmhouse associated with the construction of the stable, yard and riding surface; however, the proposed location of the single-storey stable (to the rear of the farmhouse and offset from the cottage) has been chosen so as to minimise the visual impact of the stables on the Listed Building. It will not be visible on approach to the farmhouse from the access track from the main road, and will be largely hidden from the farmhouse by the cottage. The proposed riding surface (to the north of the farmhouse) is also positioned in the least intrusive position for it, in terms of its visibility to and from the farmhouse, and it will be at least partially shielded on approach to the house by a drystone wall which is to be retained. In fact, all of the drystone walls in the area are to be retained, making use of existing gated access. A stone-lined water channel present along the south side of the area of the riding surface is also intended to be retained. |
