Abstract:		 As part of the proposed redevelopment of 'The Gables', a listed late Victorian mansion located on the western approaches to Peterborough City Centre, a programme of demolition is to be undertaken, focused on additions and extensions to the building since the 1960s, but including one small single-storey element that forms part of the original structure. Between the 1960s and 2012, 'The Gables' formed part of Peterborough District Hospital. In response to a condition on the listed building consent for the demolition works, an historic building record has been made of the elements to be removed focusing on the original single-storey bay. The later elements are all functional structures of no heritage value in the context of the listed building and its curtilage. They include a detached electricity sub-station, an external lift shaft and its associated motor housing, one two-storey and two single-storey extensions, and a free-standing but linked single-storey block. Their removal aims to restore the original form of 'The Gables' and its aesthetic integrity. The single-storey bay at the east end of the north range of 'The Gables', is shown to be part of the original structure on the Ordnance Survey 25-inch map for 1901. This is identified in the listing description as housing the boot room and larder, and includes a corridor to the south linking the house to a service yard to the east. The bay was remodelled, and the eastern yard and a service block beyond were demolished, with the construction of a 'high dependency unit' after 1988. A 1985 plan identifies the surviving rooms as 'staff room' and 'dirty utility'. The removal of the 'high dependency unit' effectively makes the single-storey bay redundant and reduces its relevance to the remainder of the house. In this context, its demolition is not considered to represent a major loss to the significance of 'The Gables' as a whole.
