The building is an early 19th century former toll house that is designated as a grade II listed building. The applications seek to approval to construct a stone boundary wall along the northern boundary of the site. The building is not located in a Conservation Area or an Area of Outstanding natural Beauty (AONB). 1.2 Purpose Sunderland Peacock and Associates Ltd have been commissioned to prepare this document as part of an application for planning permission for the proposed construction of the boundary wall. The purpose of this document is to provide the Local Planning Authority with the necessary and appropriate information that will inform the proposals. An assessment of the heritage values of the affected heritage assets will be included in order to determine their overall significance. A heritage impact assessment has also been included in order to assess the potential implications of the proposals on the affected heritage assets. It is produced in response to policies set out in Paragraph 189 of the National Planning Policy Framework, 2018 as it states; In determining applications, local planning authorities should require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected, including any contribution made by their setting. The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance.1 This document has been commissioned by Mr and Mrs Schofield who are the applicants in this case. This document is for the sole purpose for which it has been commissioned and is to be read in conjunction with all other application and supporting documents. 1 Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (2018) National Planning Policy Framework, Page 55, Accessed on 02/08/2018, Available at; https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/728643/Re vised_NPPF_2018.pdf 4 | Page 1.3 Author The author of this document, Matthew Fish B.Sc. (Hons) M.Sc. MCIAT, of Sunderland Peacock and Associates Ltd, is a Chartered Architectural Technologist (MCIAT) and is a full chartered member of the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT). Matthew holds a Master’s Degree in Building Conservation and Regeneration and is an Affiliate Member of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC) and is currently working towards full membership of the institute (full membership application decision currently pending) and has experience in the surveying, analysis and recording of historic buildings. 2.0 LOCATION 2.1 Site Location Toll Bar Cottage stands at NGR SD 77426 34410 on the south west side of the cross roads between Whalley road (running east to west), Simonstone Lane (running south) and School Lane (running north), within the Ribble Valley village of the Simonstone in Lancashire. The local area is semi-rural in nature with built up residential areas consisting of medium sized and large detached dwellings with gardens. Open fields surround the village which is assumed to be used as farm land. The application site is comprised of the house which is located to the east and a garden with is located to the west of the site. The front facing north gable of the Toll Bar Cottage faces directly outwards onto Whalley Road. The garden is comprised of grassed areas surrounded around the perimeter with mature planting and hedges. An access track to the south of the site provides vehicular access from Simonstone Lane into the adjoining field. 2.2 Building Description Toll Bar Cottage is a modest, two storey, residential building of rectangular plan and gable form. The building is constructed from squared coursed sandstone throughout. The roof has a covering of sandstone roofing flags with kneelers to the front facing north gable end elevation, causing a slight roof projection. A chimney sits centrally at ridge level and is of stone construction matching the building with stone hood at the base and 3no. glazed chimney pots. A blocked door opening is located to the east side of the front facing north elevation and would have provided the primary means of access and egress from the building. It’s plain, squared stone jambs and head still remain with an applied cement hood mould over. The same has also been applied to the 5 | Page adjacent ground floor kitchen window. The window also has plain, squared stone jambs, head and cill with cement repairs noted to the base of the jambs and throughout the cill. The window is a timber ‘mock sash’ type casement window Directly over the kitchen window at first floor level is a pointed arched window with plan, squared stone surround and hood mould. This window is a former blind window, the former stone slab that infilled the window now resides to the rear of the building and has been incorporated into the external paving. The east facing elevation is relatively symmetrical in its appearance with two windows at ground floor level and a further two windows at first floor level. All the windows are formed with plain stone surrounds with hood moulds over and timber framed ‘mock sash’ casement windows with double glazing. Interestingly, the window to the ground floor dining room on this particular elevation, retains evidence that bars were once fitted to the window, suggesting that this could have once been prevalent throughout the windows of the building as a security measure seeing as the building was primarily used to collect tolls making it highly susceptible to robbery. However, there is no further evidence of this throughout the openings of the cottage. A modern extension has been erected to the west elevation of the building, and has adopted the appearance and footprint of a now demolished section of the historic building and is thought to have been an historic extension to Toll Bar Cottage. The roof of the extension is a mixture of gable form with sandstone flag roof covering and stope copings and modern flat roofing, with parapets. The windows and doors have adopted the same appearance as the openings to the historic building. The rear south facing gable elevation contains an inserted window to the ground floor, with plain cast stone window surrounds and hood mould over and the window is a timber framed casement window with double glazing. The first-floor window is similar in size to those on the east facing elevation and also has stone surrounds and a timber double glazed window. The stone head and left side jamb, differ from the other stone surrounds to the building in that jamb has a tooled finish and the head has carved decoration, both of which are ex-situ and incorporated from elsewhere as part of the works carried out in the 1980’s. Internally, the cottage is of a two-unit, single pile plan form, separated by an internal stone dividing wall which also contains the fireplaces; however, the fireplace once present to the kitchen has since been removed and the fireplace to the dining room has since been infilled and remains disused. The kitchen is likely to have formed the main living space within the cottage and is where the blocked up former front door would have provided entry into. The rear unit, now the dining room, is likely to have been a scullery with a staircase leading to the first floor. The present staircase is not original to the building and is likely to have replaced and earlier staircase as part of the works carried out in the 1980’s. The existing staircase also cuts across the existing blocked up window to the dining room suggesting that the position of the staircase has been re-orientated following the closing up of the window. 6 | Page At first floor level there are two bedrooms and a separate shower room but formerly this space would have consisted of two bedrooms only and modern partitions have been inserted to form the existing shower room and landing.

The philosophy behind the establishment of local trusts is that people working at a district level have the ability to influence priorities and are given more freedom / resources to work together in achieving those agreed goals. Such a philosophy is beginning to take shape through funding devolved to local trusts for early intervention work.
