Abstract: |
A public inquiry is pending with regard to a proposal to remove the existing door surround from the main façade at No. 34 Cheyne Row, SW3. The owner wishes to replace what appears to be an early to mid-nineteenth-century neo-classical feature with a replica shell-hood, of a type more typical of the eighteenth century, and of similar design to that at neighbouring No. 32. The owner's application was originally approved by the planning services committee of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, against the advice of its own staff and that of English Heritage. The application for listed building consent was subsequently referred to English Heritage for direction. The case went to the London Advisory Committee at its meeting on 29 January 1999. The committee endorsed the recommendation that consent be refused. Further information is required to support the English Heritage case at the public inquiry. The Historical Analysis and Research Team has been asked, in particular, whether it is possible to assign an accurate date to the existing door surround? Secondly, is there any evidence to show that a shell-hood indeed existed at this house in the early eighteenth century? And finally, what evidence is there to suggest that the door surround at each of the houses in Cheyne Row originally featured a shell-hood. |
