1. Summary This is a Conservation Statement and Impact Assessment for the proposed scheme to construct a new outbuilding within the setting of Tadgells Barn.
The site is near the Grade II listed Tadgells and a number of listed buildings within the village.
This Heritage Statement has been written with the proposed scheme:
• 417-17 001-01 Location Plans Existing and proposed • 417-17 302-01 Plans, Elevations and Section 1.1. Aims and results The aim of this statement is to recognise the significance, setting and character of the area and to assess whether the proposed works will affect the significance, character or appearance of the designated heritage assets.
2. Planning Guidelines To comply with National Policy Planning Framework (2018) section 16 this statement provides:
• An understanding/describe the significance of the heritage asset • An understanding/contribution to the setting of heritage assets • An assessment of the impact of the proposed works on the heritage asset • An assessment of the impact of the proposed works on the setting of the heritage assets
This statement has been undertaken with the consideration of the level and extent of the proposed works and is not to be considered as a full historical report or conservation plan.
3. Description The proposed location for the outbuilding is within the curtilage of Tadgells Barn, within the village of Carters Green. 3.1. Development of Site The earliest OS map (1874) shows the farmstead ‘Taggles’ as a collection of buildings. This setting remains relatively unchanged until the 1970s where additional outbuildings are seen.
A comprehensive planning list shows the recent developments. 3.2. Setting of heritage assets Tadgells sits in its own grounds and shares a single storey barn with Tadgells Barn on the edge of the small collection of buildings forming Carters Green.
The setting is a rural setting surrounded by agricultural farmland. A number of the buildings within the area are listed, such as The Homestead, Rose Cottage, The Manor, Pond Cottage, The Old House, and Hoggs Farmstead. All of these are Grade II listed and set within their own grounds surrounded by established trees and hedges. 3.3. Significance The significance of the formation of the farmstead within a rural setting.
2 | P a g e Janice Gooch Heritage Consultancy Heritage Statement for: Tadgells Barn, Carters Green, CM17 0NX
The historic interest is with the age of the farmstead. Tadgells is a C15 hall house, with later additions for the outbuildings and barn (now converted). The collection of buildings can still be read as a group setting due to the careful conversion of the barn.
The archaeological interest is due to ancient schedule monument moat. The proposed outbuilding sites of the outskirts of the moat.
Architecturally the site comprises of vernacular buildings, the main dominant buildings being the farm house (Tadgells) and the Barn. Traditionally these two buildings would have been the dominant buildings with the smaller farm / outbuildings within the vicinity. These were often ad-hoc smaller buildings in locations to suit the needs of the farmer.
4. Proposed Scheme 4.1. Requirements for Change The objective is to allow a small outbuilding to provide auxiliary space for gym, etc for the owners of Tadgells Barn. 4.2. Planning History Refer to Planning Documents.

4.3. Proposed Works It is proposed to:
• Construct a new outbuilding for auxiliary use to the barn
4.4. Design considerations The proposed building is to be a timber frame building with stained weatherboarding constructed of a red brick plinth.
4.5. Reason for Proposed Option The proposed building works within the agricultural/ rural setting of the Barn and the existing outbuildings (used for garages).
8 | P a g e Janice Gooch Heritage Consultancy Heritage Statement for: Tadgells Barn, Carters Green, CM17 0NX
5. Impact Assessment: In 2008, the then English Heritage (now Historic England) published their ‘Conservation Principles, Policies & Guidance’, which provided a framework and guidance on which to assess proposed works to historic buildings and other heritage assets.
Within this document, they defined ‘conservation’ as:
‘the process of managing change to a significant place in it setting in ways that will best sustain its heritage values, while recognising opportunities to reveal or reinforce those values for present and future generation’
It is this advice and ethos that the proposed impact of the works is assessed against the ‘special architectural and historic interest’ and significance of the building and its setting.
5.1. Impact on the setting of the Heritage Assets The proposed location of the outbuilding is set within the confines of the curtilage of the Barn, surrounded by established trees and hedgerows. A glimpse of the proposed building may be seen when approaching the village from the south, however, there is already the more dominant buildings (Barn and Tadgells) that can be seen. The proposed building is small and appropriately designed to work within the setting of these former farm building.
The proposed building is not considered to impact on the moat. The location sits on the ‘outside’ of the moated area. 5.2. Summary As Historic England clarify,
‘Listed buildings are to be enjoyed and used, like any other building. Listed buildings can be altered, extended and sometimes even demolished within government planning guidance. The local authority uses listed building consent to make decisions that balance the site's historic significance against other issues, such as its function, condition or viability.’
With this in mind, it is considered that the proposed scheme is considered not to have an impact on the character, appearance, significance to the surrounding heritage assets.

List entry Description
Around 6,000 moated sites are known in England. They consist of wide ditches, often or seasonally water-filled, partly or completely enclosing one or more islands of dry ground on which stood domestic or religious buildings. In some cases the islands were used for horticulture. The majority of moated sites served as prestigious aristocratic and seigneurial residences with the provision of a moat intended as a status symbol rather than a practical military defence. The peak period during which moated sites were built was between about 1250 and 1350 and by far the greatest concentration lies in central and eastern parts of England. However, moated sites were built throughout the medieval period, are widely scattered throughout England and exhibit a high level of diversity in their forms and sizes. They form a significant class of medieval monument and are important for the understanding of the distribution of wealth and status in the countryside. Many examples provide conditions favourable to the survival of organic remains.
Despite some infilling of the northern arm and part of the eastern arm of the moat the moated site known as Tadgells survives well. The island remains largely undisturbed and will retain buried evidence for structures and other features relating to the earlier periods of occupation. The buried silts in the base of the ditches will contain both artefacts relating to the period of occupation and environmental evidence for the appearance of the landscape in which the monument is set. In particular, the buried northern arm of the moat, infilled prior to 1896, may retain sealed deposits from still earlier periods.
Tadgells moat lies in an area where moated sites are fairly numerous, with further moated sites situated in the parish of Matching, in Matching Park, 600m to the ENE, at Matching Hall, 2km to the north east, and at Stocks Hall on Matching Green, 3.3km to the ENE. Comparative studies between these sites and with further examples from other regions will provide significant insights into the developments of settlement and many other aspects of medieval society in England.
History
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
Details
The monument includes a medieval moated site known as Tadgells which is located on the eastern edge of the hamlet of Housham Tye and to the east of Carter's Green. The name `Tadgells' is first recorded as Taggles in 1327, after the family of John Tagel.
The moated site includes a rectangular island measuring approximately 30m east to west by at least 36m north to south. The island is contained by a water-filled moat or ditch on the east, south and west sides. This measures up to 10m wide and a maximum of 2m deep. The northern arm of the moat, which now survives as a buried feature, was infilled at some time prior to 1896, when the 2nd
15 | P a g e Janice Gooch Heritage Consultancy Heritage Statement for: Tadgells Barn, Carters Green, CM17 0NX edition 25 inch Ordnance Survey map was drawn up. A 6m section at the northern end of the eastern arm appears to have been infilled after 1896 when it was depicted on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map as open and water-filled. The remaining open section of the eastern moat ditch has also since been partly infilled and now can be seen to narrow towards the northern end.
There is some indication of a building platform marking the site of an earlier house towards the southern side of the island, perhaps a forerunner to the present Grade II Listed Building, which dates from the 15th century with 16th and 17th additions immediately to the north of the moated site. A post- medieval bakehouse/dairy stands partly on the northern side of the island and is connected to the house via a modern brick built passageway.
A rectangular water feature, immediately to the west of the moat which surrounds the adjacent plot of land and is linked to the southern end of the western arm of the moat, is thought to represent an enclosure defined by drains, of which there are many encompassing gardens and land plots in the immediate area.
The former bakehouse/dairy together with the glasshouse, fencing, gates and all other modern pathways and surfaces are excluded from the scheduling, although the ground beneath these features is included.
