| Abstract: |
Aims and Methods 2.1 This Heritage Asset Assessment has been prepared in order to comply with Paragraph 205 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF 2021), whereby the significance and setting of the heritage asset(s) and the potential impacts of the proposed development are set out in order to inform the Planning Application. This requires the collation of existing information in order to identify the likely extent, character and quality of the known or potential heritage assets and/or archaeological resources, in order that appropriate measures for mitigating the impact of development might be considered (CIfA 2020). 2.2 The assessment was carried out according to the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists’ Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Desk-Based Assessments (CIfA 2020) with additional reference to Historic England Advice Note 12, Statements of Heritage Significance: Analysing Significance in Heritage Assets (Historic England 2019b). As part of the assessment of significance, this report will evaluate the various interests associated with the site, including: • Archaeological interest • Architectural and artistic interest • Historic interest It is proposed to convert the listed barn to provide two dwellings and the small barn as an annexe to a new dwelling that is to replace the 20th century bungalow. The proposals have been carefully designed to maintain as much of the original fabric and floor layout as possible. The existing door and window openings have been retained, some with minor modifications, such as a former hayloft door becoming a window. New fenestration is proposed for the external faces of the timberwork in the south all of Barn 1 and the north wall of Barn 2, leaving the timbers intact and therefore on display. Where needed, small conservation roof lights would provide additional lighting at minimal loss of historic timbers and without compromising the setting of the site. The potential impact on the historic buildings and their setting is positive. The proposed new dwelling, which would be set further back on the site than the existing bungalow, presents a new architectural style to the complex, and re-introduces the traditional structural hierarchy of main dwelling with ancillary buildings. It is unlikely to have a negative impact on the setting of the site or the significance of the earlier buildings. The proposed new car port to the west of the house, the garage to the southeast of Barn 1 and the proposed gym that will replace an existing structure to the southeast of the house will have a neutral impact. There is a potentially negative impact on archaeological remains both within the barns during ground reduction for a new floor, and during the construction of the new buildings. An Archaeological Watching Brief may be called for as mitigation. In addition, a Historic Building Watching Brief to complete the recording of the buildings as new elements are exposed and to provide a Level 3 Historic Building Recording Report may be recommended. |
