Abstract: |
The proposed development site comprises a collection of unused barns located within the curtilage of Moat Bank House, Moat Bank, Lichfield, Staffordshire. The development will comprise a barn conversion to form a 3-bedroom dwelling together with the formation of a double garage to the north east of the existing barns. An Historic England Level 2 Building Survey is a descriptive record. Its primary objective is to describe and record, by means of high-resolution digital photography, all of the key internal and external components of the affected building so that a permanent record survives prior to works. Plans and Elevations were provided by the Client, checked onsite and modified if necessary. The building survey identified four distinct phases of construction of the existing Moat Bank Barns. The Main Barn in the north wing, probably originally a threshing barn and grain store, is the earliest surviving part of the complex. Documentary evidence indicates that there was a settlement at Moat Bank from at least the 16th century and the roof timbers in the central and eastern end of the barn could have a late medieval origin. At this time the barn may have been half timbered with a sandstone foundation to the walls. The building is generally in a good state of repair and access was possible to all of the interior and exterior of the building. Access was not possible to the private property of Moat Bank Cottage which occupies the site of the west wing of the former barn buildings. |
