Abstract: |
Planning permission (15/01049/1) and listed building consent (15/01050/1LB) was granted for the change of use of 69 High Street, Codicote from a restaurant to two dwellings with a single storey rear extension, for conversion of an outbuilding and for the construction of five mews houses. No significant changes were proposed to the adjacent property of 71 High Street, which was also in the development area. Both of the properties are grade II listed and are located in the historic core of Codicote. A condition was attached to the planning consent requiring a programme of historic building recording and archaeological works. 69 High Street was a Chinese restaurant, before which it was the George and Dragon Inn. Records suggest that an inn has existed on the site from the medieval period. It is timber framed building with jettied cross wings at either end. The northern cross wing is 16th century and has a crown post roof. The central range and southern cross wing are 17th century with a clasped purlin roof. 71 High Street is an L-shaped, timber framed building of two storeys with clasped purlin roofs. The front range lies end on to the street and has a jettied gable end and an underbuilt jetty along its southern side. The outbuilding at the rear of No. 69 has walls is of brick and timber frame construction with a clasped purlin roof. It probably dates from the 18th or early 19th-century. Monitoring of the groundworks associated with the new build to the rear of the property revealed made ground dating from the modern period. Not all the foundations reached the depth of natural subsoil. |
