Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 2 1. BACKGROUND
The Stow and District Civic Society was asked to lead in the production of a ‘Community Design Statement’ for the Neighbourhood Plan, taking account of the views expressed by the community in March 2020.
This document is the product of that consultation and forms part of the Neighbourhood Plan for Stow-on-the-Wold and the Swells. Sections 4-10 relate to Stow-on-the-Wold and cover relevant issues for the Swells parish which includes Lower Swell, Upper Swell and Nether Swell. The Community Design Statement is an addition to Cotswold District Council’s (CDC) Design Code with design issues which relate particularly to the two parishes.
The Neighbourhood Plan concludes that it is essential for the long term social, environmental and economic sustainability of Stow-on-the-Wold that development takes place to meet the needs identified by the community and supported by empirical evidence. At the same time we seek to ensure that the unique character of Stow-on-the-Wold and the Swells together with the surrounding AONB are protected and enhanced so the requirements of any new developments must be compatible with this. The Neighbourhood Plan and Community Design Statement therefore seek to support the management of change in the Town and surrounding area, not to prevent it.
2. THE AIMS OF THE COMMUNITY DESIGN STATEMENT
Community Design Statements were established by the Countryside Commission in 1996. Their major objectives are to:
• Provide a forum for the community to say what it is that they value about their village (or town) and how they would like to see it develop in the future. • Describe the distinctive character of the Town and Parish through its buildings and its landscape setting. • Demonstrate how this character can be protected and enhanced. • Provide guidelines for householders, architects and developers when new developments are proposed so that they respect the character of the Town and Parish and make positive contributions to the local environment. • Influence the development of future policies to be adopted by the planning authority.
In essence this Community Design Statement describes the unique visual characteristics of Stow-on-the-Wold and the Swells. It is intended to inform and influence planners, property developers and those refurbishing current buildings. The Community Design Statement provides supplementary specific guidance to the Cotswold District Council Design Code that, as part of the Neighbourhood Plan, must be taken into consideration when planning applications are being considered.
In producing this document full consideration has been given to CDC’s wish to align itself with the ‘Building with Nature’ initiative and their encouragement of developers to incorporate high quality green infrastructure into any new developments.
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 3 3. THE PLANNING CONTEXT
The local planning authority policies regarding development for Stow-on-the-Wold and the Swells are set out in the statutory Development Plan provided under the Cotswold District Local Plan 2011 – 2031 (adopted 3 August 2018) and its associated documents. This can be found at:
Link TBA
The Design Code for the area is an appendix to the Local Plan. The Code covers a broad range of issues and provides detail on design considerations for specific types of development. It does not repeat the useful guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). It focuses on:
• Informing the Design – Resources and information • Landscape, settlements and streets • Scale and proportion • Design Approach / Architectural Style – The Cotswold Vernacular • Design Approach / Architectural Style - Contemporary • Materials and craftsmanship • Sustainable Design • Inclusive Design • Effective green infrastructure and high-quality landscape • Key design considerations for specific development proposals o Extensions to existing buildings o Garages and other out-buildings o New-build houses in the Cotswold vernacular style o Large commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings o Barn conversions o Shop fronts o Signage
The Cotswold Design Code amplifies and illustrates the principles set out in the Cotswold District Local Plan. The Design Code, constituting Supplementary Planning Guidance to Policy 42, can be found at:
Link TBA
In addition, Cotswold District Council also produces supplementary technical guides which are important in heritage preservation. These include guides on stone slate roofing, porches, traditional chimneys and dormer windows, all of which are relevant to Stow-on-the-Wold and the Swells.
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 4 4. A BRIEF HISTORY OF STOW-ON-THE-WOLD AND ITS SURROUNDINGS
Stow-on-the-Wold is unique in the Cotswolds. Its name derives from the Saxon ‘Stow’ meaning meeting place and ‘Wold’ meaning a rolling hill. There have been archaeological finds of habitation in the area dating back to the Bronze Age and an Iron Age settlement called Maethelgeris Byrigg covered a significant area of the northern section of today’s town.
Today Stow-on-the-Wold sits at the crossing of 3 major trunk roads, the A429 (Fosseway), A424 and A436 plus 2 secondary roads, the B4068 and the B4077, making it a very busy traffic hot spot. This is no different from its history and explains how Stow-on- the-Wold has developed where it is, being at the junction of the Jurassic Way, the Salt Way and the Roman Fosse Way. These original ancient tracks followed the high ground and enabled the carrying of goods for long distances so that eventually Stow became a convenient trading centre.
In Saxon times the area was under the control of the Abbott of Evesham who saw these crossing routes as an ideal meeting point and trading evolved. In 1107, Henry I granted the right to hold a weekly market. This was held on Thursdays in the area between the three main Ways and this area now forms the Market Square which remains an important meeting place and trading area to this day. A market is still held on two Thursdays each month. There are several tures or alleyways such as Fleece Alley leading towards the Market Square which, it is believed, were used to control the passage of the sheep into the marketplace from the pastureland behind the town. Contracts were agreed at the market cross in the Square whose purpose was to remind merchants to trade honestly. The cross remains a key focus of the Square and its activities.
During the Middle Ages Stow thrived through the wool trade with the addition of 2 annual five-day fairs granted in 1476 and, together with the weekly market, saw the sale of large numbers of sheep and fleeces together with foreign and British goods. Wealthy wool merchants would come to Stow-on-the Wold to purchase fleeces directly from source and as such spent a lot of time in the area setting up homesteads and putting considerable money back into the community. Examples of this include the building of the School House in Church Street, the 6 Alms Houses in Church Walk and, it is believed, paying for the construction of the church tower.
Christian worship has taken place in Stow for over 1,000 years with the iconic St. Edward’s Church being built in 1107 AD on the site of an earlier Saxon church. In the Domesday Survey of 1086 part of the local manor owned by the Abbey of Evesham and close to St. Edward’s Church was at the time called Edwardstow.
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 5 Royalist and Parliamentarian armies passed through Stow-on-the-Wold several times during the first Civil War (1642-46) and a stand-off action was fought to the east of Stow in the summer of 1643 as the Earl of Essex's army marched to relieve Gloucester. King Charles I also stayed in the King’s Arms in May 1645 on his way to the Battle of Naseby but the town is perhaps best known as being the final location of the last battle of the first Civil War. Sir Jacob Astley, leading a Royalist force to relieve Charles I’s garrison at Oxford, was intercepted near Stow and driven into the Square where many were killed or imprisoned. Sir Jacob was forced to sit on a drum near the cross and surrender to the Parliamentarians.
Today Stow-on-the-Wold is a thriving hilltop market town. At its heart, with a population of only 2,042 (2011 Census), it has the feel of a large village but with the Market Square dominating its centre and a significant retail and business community it is certainly a successful town.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION ON THE SWELLS
The present civil parish of Swell comprises the settlements of Upper, Lower (once “Little” or “Nether”), and Nether Swell. They lie in the valley of the River Dikler at the western foot of the hill on which sits Stow-on-the-Wold, and are linked by the river, a tributary of the Windrush.
As with Stow, the Swells show signs of having been occupied from at least Bronze and Iron Age times. There are a number of ancient long and round barrows in the area, particularly in and around the wood known as Pole’s Plantation, and at least two sites of former Roman buildings. There is an ancient well in Lower Swell known as the Lady’s well, thought to have been a sacred spring. In Anglo-Saxon times this area of the Cotswolds fell under the general authority of the Abbot of Evesham whose influence continued for a time under the Normans.
Upper and Lower Swell were separate civil parishes until 1935, and separate ecclesiastical parishes until 1961. Each had its own church and parson - in Lower Swell a vicar, and in Upper Swell a rector. Both churches were originally built in the 12th Century but were modified and to different extents enlarged in Victorian times. The communities also developed separately. They both depended economically on farming. Upper Swell is much smaller than its sister village and farming there was probably dependent upon the mediaeval manor of Swell (for which see below). There was also a mill by the ancient bridge over the Dikler, which is thought by some to have Roman stonework, to which grain was brought from around the area for milling. Probably to distinguish the village from Lower Swell (see again below), a manor house was built in the 16th Century next to the church.
Lower Swell was created a manor under the Normans in about 1086. Ownership of much of the manor’s estate passed in 1257 to the Abbey of Hailes. After the dissolution of the monasteries, and many exchanges of ownership, most of the land apart from that attached to the manor house itself came in 1790 into the possession of Christ Church College, Oxford which then held the main farm. A succession of manor houses was built in an area between Lower Swell village and Stow, in a park of 200 acres, which became known as Abbotswood. The Abbotswood estate passed through a number of owners until the 1860s when it was
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 6 bought by Alfred Sartoris. In 1867 he built a large new house in Victorian style. In the 1900s this was extensively remodelled by Edwin Lutyens, and impressive gardens and an arboretum were created by the then owner, Mark Fenwick. After World War I Mr. Fenwick sponsored the installation of a war memorial, also designed by Lutyens, and the building which is now the village hall.
There has been a school in Lower Swell since 1825. In 1961 it became a Church of England national primary school which is now part of the North Cotswolds School Federation with Cold Aston and Longborough primaries.
Both Upper and Lower Swell are notable for being very largely built of local stone and most houses have Cotswold stone roofs. The oldest surviving houses are 16th or 17th Century including the “Golden Ball” pub in Lower Swell. There is a remarkable example of Hindu style in the building in Lower Swell now called Spa Cottages which was constructed in 1807 at the site of a mineral water spring (now long dry).
The community of Nether Swell is a fairly recent accretion to the parish, having developed around a house and its outbuildings known as Nether Swell Manor, which was constructed between 1903 and 1909 for Walter Montague Scott, brother of Sir John Murray Scott, Bt. It later became a preparatory school until 1969 when it was used as a study centre until being sold for residential redevelopment.
5. OVERVIEW OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
(See Appendix 1 for larger version of this map).
The built environment of Stow-on-the-Wold demonstrates an evolutionary process over several centuries with adjacent properties having very different styles, but with a pleasing coherence provided by consistency of building materials. From its early medieval roots it has grown around its Market Square. Originally it would have been open at the northern and southern ends with a flat open space in the middle. Today the marketplace provides an important community hub with bus stops, parking, a library and Visitor Information Centre (VIC) in its centre and a large number of shops around its edge. The Market Cross is found in the southern section of the Market Square and the old stocks are on Stocks Green in the northern section. Currently the scene is dominated by tarmacadam and car and coach parking. It has the potential for some reordering so as to restore a more rural and natural feel, worthy of its medieval origins.

Southern end of the Market Square Market Square at the start of 20th century
Typically, tall and prestigious buildings around the Market Square date from between the 16th Century to 18th Century with houses and shops in Digbeth Street and Church Street (which were the main routes in and out of Stow-on-the-Wold) dating to about the same period. This area, together with the original Lord of the Manor’s residency in Maugersbury, now forms the Stow Conservation Area (see Appendix 2). This area has evolved over the centuries as different architectural styles appeared. However, there is still coherence in the buildings through the use of locally quarried Cotswold stone for external walls and roof tiles. Later developments extended Stow-on-the-Wold to the East, South and North.

Digbeth Street Church Street
Unfortunately for a period in the 20th Century inappropriate building materials were introduced such as brick, reconstituted stone and wood and roof tile hung walls. Some very recent developments have introduced inappropriately tall buildings which do not sit down into the wooded hillside as the more usual one and two storey buildings do. In more recent times domestic developments have adhered to the Cotswold vernacular so that, on the whole, while more modern building styles, materials and heights have been introduced, the Town still presents a reasonably unified appearance through the use of sympathetic building materials and domestic scale. Our communities are strongly in favour of retaining this coherence. The original houses in Stow-on-the-Wold would have been constructed of wooden frameworks with wattle and daub walls. However, as wood started to become scarce and prone to catching fire, new housing was built of stone dug either from small local quarries, whose indentations can still be seen on the borders of the Town, or from beneath the house itself, leaving space for cellars which could be used as kitchens, dwelling houses or for storage. Existing wooden framed One of the oldest buildings in the Square houses would have been ‘faced’ with stonework and a good example of this is the old Curiosity Shop (currently Huffkins Tea Rooms) which is believed to be the oldest building in the Market Square, dating back to 1450. Its original wooden frame has ‘leaned’, having slipped off its stone foundation, and the building was later clad in stone catering for this lean.
Building in the area was predominantly of stone from the late 16th Century to the 20th Century and stone walls in the streets and tures of the town are a characteristic feature.
There are traces of 16th Century houses at the top of Digbeth Street and about this time houses were built on the long thin burgage plots which provided for living and self- sufficiency. Original burgage plots dating back to the 16th Century are still evident around the Town and whilst a good number of the original medieval plots remain intact some have been lost over the years altogether and others have been broken up. The best examples of these plots, together with their associated tures, run between Sheep Street and Back Walls.
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 9 It is still possible to see some elements of the burgage plots running between the Market Square and Sheep Street although many of these have been built over.
Rather than concentrating on infilling, during the 18th and 19th Centuries Stow-on-the-Wold expanded outwards with developments across Sheep Street towards Back Walls and Park Street. During the 19th Century the Square saw the restoration of the Market Cross and the building of St. Edward’s Hall.
The 20th Century has seen the greatest expansion in Stow-on-the-Wold with developments in the eastern part of the Town around the Well Lane area extending down into the more modern estates of St Edward’s Drive and King George’s Field being developed in the 1930s. Expansion in the southern area of the Town took place on The Park area in 1951 towards Maugersbury, initially as council houses and then partially as a private estate.

This section examines some of the key features and properties of buildings in Stow-on-the- Wold that have set the character of the environment.
Good Points:
The over-riding feature of Stow-on-the-Wold and the Swells is in the use of the honey and golden coloured oolitic Jurassic limestone in buildings shown at its best when used as stone rather than reconstituted bricks. As the area has developed over the centuries with different designs the overall appearance of Stow-on-the-Wold is by no means uniform and its greatest asset is the variety of designs and shapes that make it so attractive.
St Edward’s Hall is in the centre of the Town square and is not as old as it looks, having been erected in 1877-78 at a cost of £4,000. It was funded partly by subscription and partly by the Stow Provident Bank. It was designed by Medland of Gloucester in a typical Victorian Gothic style to ‘harmonise with the Tudor buildings of the district' and replaced a number of older buildings in the Square. It soon became the centre for social functions and local government meetings and the home of the Town's library and reading room, an art gallery and museum.
St. Edward's Hall as it appears today The Hall just after it was built in 1878 (without bell tower)
Oddfellows Row and Landgate Yard in the Well Lane area are good examples of new buildings influenced by older developments. The friendly society, the Oddfellows' Loyal Cotswold Lodge, was founded in 1867 and built Oddfellows Row using coursed rubble with a Cotswold stone roof as a housing project for poor locals. In 2000 Landgate Yard was built close by copying ‘the look and feel’ of this property.
Oddfellows Row Landgate Yard
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 11 One of the more noteworthy buildings situated close to the Square is the Masonic Lodge (formerly the grammar school) in Church Street. Built in 1594 by Richard Shepham, a wealthy London wool merchant with land in Southwark, London, with fine arched windows set high up in the walls to stop school children looking out, it is of rubble construction with a Cotswold stone roof. The Masonic Hall looks the same today
The Ostler’s House at the top of Digbeth Street was built circa 1590 by the Lord of the Manor (in Maugersbury) to give his carts easy access to the market. This has been restored and maintains an arched stone doorway and mullioned windows, one with four lights and a drip mould. This property is interesting as it has two new buildings in what was the stable area of the yard. These have been built very sympathetically using Cotswold stone and a Cotswold tiled roof using different sized tiles and fit Ostler’s House to the left with two new sympathetically built in very well into the character of buildings within the courtyard behind Stow-on-the-Wold.
The Porch House and adjoining house, at the bottom of Digbeth Street, form together one house built in the 15th or early 16th Century. The Porch House is reputed to have been built by the Saxon Duke Aethelmar in 947 AD as a hospice. It represents an unusual survival in the area of a timber framed building with timbers carbon-dated to around this time.

The King’s Arms in the Square and the building next to it have three storeys with 17th Century fronts, with mullioned and transom windows and boldly projecting eaves.

St. Edward’s House, the most elaborately decorated in the Square, has an unusually enriched façade of the early 18th Century with fluted Corinthian pilasters to its full height of three storeys. St. Edward’s House
These old properties show great individuality and many interesting historical features; they provide a varied and interesting street scene which is an essential ingredient of the Town’s unique heritage while still maintaining the underlying coherence through building materials. One good example which could influence a new development is Wraggs Row where each of the old cottages has its own character through original design and evolution of the dwellings.

Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 13 Another more recent example is the newly built Doctor’s Surgery on the boundary of the Town which has been set well into the landscape and constructed using sympathetic materials and also having a slight agricultural feel to reflect its semi-rural location.

Bad Points:
Inappropriate Design & Building Materials
Although properties are largely in character with their surroundings they are at risk from unsympathetic alteration out of keeping both with the buildings themselves and in the context of a medieval marketplace.
The modern estates and developments of the 20th Century are of varying quality, the earliest again using poor imitations of natural materials and pebble dashing and the latest using natural stone. Most are of formulaic design with repeated house types and styles. Few make any architectural reference to the local vernacular style including garden boundaries.
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 14 Larger Buildings and Developments
The crenellated design of the wooden balcony of the new dementia care home on the site north of Tesco is again an inappropriate design and it is completely out of keeping with the area and vernacular whilst sitting on an elevated and imposing site on the hilltop.
Edwardstow Court Care Home near Tesco Another large assisted living development currently nearing completion by “Brio Homes” on the southern border of the Town includes glazed balconies and is likewise out of keeping with the local character.
New Brio Development on Fosseway
Historically, the taller more imposing buildings have been placed around the Market Square, with smaller, residential properties on a domestic scale cascading down the hilly slopes falling away from the Square. In the 21st Century, developments specifically for older people have not followed this traditional pattern. The community does not wish to see this failure of harmony repeated. All proposed future buildings with an overall height exceeding 8.0m will be required to erect a scaffold framework on the proposed site to give visible representation of the proposed build within the environment. This will help to reduce the likelihood of further overbearing and badly positioned properties - additional examples of which include the Communal building in the Brio development overlooking Chamberlayne House and Swell View House on the Fosseway which dominates the skyline when viewed from Lower Swell and the west.
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 15 Signage and Advertising
One of the major eyesores around the Town is that of unsympathetic signage with garish colours and modern designs which are out of character and spoil the coherence of the old buildings. Whilst not wishing to issue a draconian colour code as is prevalent in many suburban conservation areas throughout the country it is felt there should be control over out of character colours to both residential and commercial premises.
All signage for highways and tourist information are naturally important to the Town but over the years lax enforcement has resulted in many seemingly temporary signs becoming more permanent together with oversized advertising banners and street boards. A common level for all and the location and size of commercial signage should be actively monitored and adhered to.
Lighting and Illumination
The illumination of premises must not detract from the appeal of the buildings and those within the vicinity. A number of new traders in the past have installed backlit and neon lighting which has then been changed after much procedure and antagonism.
PHOTO
Backlit signage Street Lights in The Square
It is also desirable that eventually the inappropriate sodium lights in the Square should be replaced with those more in keeping with the style and period of the surrounding properties.
Refuse and Recycling Storage and Bins
Poor provision for refuse collection and the growing number of collection bins and containers now constitutes a growing visual pollution and detracts from the attractive street scene. All future builds and developments must make provision for concealed recycling and refuse storage with easy access for collection.
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 16 Parking
To address the issue of an increasing lack of adequate parking throughout the Town it is proposed that a schedule of minimum acceptable off-street parking spaces for both residents and visitors on all new types of accommodation should be introduced. This would address both individual sites and developments with mixtures of 1,2,3 and 4 bed properties. The lack of adequate off-street parking and greed for more properties on each plot has increasingly resulted in many developments being far too bulky and dense as demonstrated by the overdevelopment of the old Stow Ag site with woefully inadequate parking provision.
New technology
Whilst wishing to encourage new and sustainable technologies, it is inappropriate to install any within the Conservation Area that can be visible from both public view and other residents in adjoining properties resulting in a decline of the integrity of the site area and its appeal. Whilst to be encouraged, a somewhat more relaxed approach may be suitable outside this area provided it is discreet and does not affect the street scene. Many new technologies are changing rapidly (what are solar panels today may be rechargeable roof tiles tomorrow!). We do not want within a short time frame a legacy of redundant technology persisting throughout the Town. The installation of E-Charging points has been initiated in Tesco car park; more need to be installed but not within the Conservation Area. Indeed the siting of Charging points in the public car park next to Tesco and in Maugersbury will have the advantage of drawing parked cars away from the Square.
7. OVERVIEW OF THE SURROUNDING AREA
Stow-on-the-Wold is set entirely within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is the highest Town in the Cotswolds and its hill-top vantage point, with the ancient tower of St. Edward’s Church, affords magnificent views in all directions. These views should be preserved.
The land around Stow-on-the-Wold is generally hilly and the only flat parts are in the south- west of Maugersbury by the Dikler and the east end of Donnington by the Evenlode. South from Stow-on-the-Wold the hill runs down to a saddle with streams draining east (the Hedbrook or Edenbrook) which, incidentally, provided fishing in the 10th and 16th centuries and south-west (the Fulbrook), to join the Evenlode and Dikler respectively. Beyond these streams the land slopes steeply up the sides of Icomb Hill. East from Stow-on-the-Wold the hill stretches out a shoulder into the Evenlode valley. The rock stratum of the lower ground is overlain by the Lower Oolite and Chipping Norton Limestone where the land rises. Below Stow-on-the-Wold on the east, south-east and south, springs emerge where the Lower Oolite overlies the Upper Lias and these have supplied the Town wells of Stow-on-the-Wold, the village of Maugersbury and St. Edward's Well by the Fosse Way.
The Town is surrounded by open green spaces and woodlands with expansive views. Sheep, horses and cattle are often grazed on the surrounding hills immediately adjacent to the Town affording a sense of immediate connection to the surrounding countryside.

The Stow-on-the- Wold community benefits from the range of social, economic and environmental services provided by the natural environment without which its sustainability would be much poorer.
8. CHALLENGES FACING STOW-ON-THE-WOLD
Stow-on-the-Wold is a wonderful place to live with its architecture and beautiful surrounding countryside all within the Cotswolds AONB. Its lively primary school is at the heart of the community together with thriving retail businesses. Stow-on-the-Wold is enjoyed equally by its community and visitors.
Stow-on-the-Wold faces challenges in ensuring a sustainable future that will enable its economy and community to continue to thrive into the future. The very desirability of Stow- on-the-Wold as a place to live and visit creates problems with second homes and holiday lets reducing the housing stock available to local people. In this day and age traffic is also a big problem. Within the Market Square cars, coaches and pedestrians are all using the same space. Whilst the 20mph speed limit is a help in ensuring safety for pedestrians, the problem of ‘roaming’ cars seeking parking spaces detracts from the experience of visiting the Market Square. Indeed the over reliance on the existing parking provision within the Square and on-street parking has resulted in obscuring many of the Town’s defining features and attractions. Developers must make provision for off-street parking in all new builds and developments.
North end of Square South end of Square
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 18 Stow-on-the-Wold’s population is ageing with an increasingly higher percentage of residents now being over 65 years old (over 40% in 2021). This is largely as a result of its desirability as a place to live for retirees with house prices so high that even a modest property is beyond the means of those earning the average Cotswold wage of around £27,000 per year.
There will be a long-term impact from this situation which already affects the sustainability of the Town. With no genuinely affordable housing for those growing up in Stow-on-the- Wold and the key workers who support the economy, it is increasingly likely that businesses will not be able to recruit within Stow-on-the-Wold. Challenges associated with heavy traffic and parking in and around the Market Square will become worse as employees commute in from places offering cheaper housing.
The well-established and respected local primary school is already affected with fewer young families in Stow-on-the-Wold. A larger burden will be placed on local health and social services, such as care workers and doctors, through an increasingly ageing population. Already 23.5% of the community has life limiting conditions (Gloucs 16.7%). The availability of locally based care workers is limited leading to elderly clients having to pay mileage of up to 100 miles for each visit, on top of care costs.
To redress this trend, at least in part, it is essential that the Neighbourhood Development Plan makes provision for genuinely affordable housing, suitable for and affordable to younger people and families earning local incomes and resists further development that is likely to attract more incoming elderly, retired residents. It is clear that there is demand for genuinely affordable housing in Stow-on-the-Wold based upon our community consultation, the 2015 housing survey and applications to the Cotswold District Council Homeseeker’s system and Help to Buy South West.
It is important that any increase in the population of Stow-on-the-Wold is supported by the infrastructure and facilities necessary to bind the whole community together whether through shared space, shared activities or shared electronic communication. To that end the plan reflects the desires of the community for play, sport and leisure facilities, for a community centre in the heart of Stow-on-the-Wold and for an improvement in parking.
In terms of the Neighbourhood Development Plan, a significant challenge is that the parish and development boundaries are largely tight against existing housing development. The Town Council, with support from Swells Parish Council, has taken time to get the right balance between protecting and preserving Stow-on-the-Wold and the Swells’ history, architecture, ecology, environment, community facilities and green spaces and the new developments necessary for a sustainable future, namely genuinely affordable housing, community sport and leisure, increased parking, employment, self-employment and support for small ‘making and doing’ businesses.
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 19 9. COMMUNITY LIKES AND DISLIKES
In March 2020, the Community was asked to give its opinions on the following questions:
– Which views into, out of or within Stow should be protected from future development? – Which buildings in Stow do you like and would like to see influence any new developments? – Which buildings in Stow do you not like and would not like to see influence any new development?
Opinions were sought through a competition in the Stow Times, through the consultation drop-in days and through a project at the Stow Primary School.
Typical comments were as follows:
VIEWS
“Panoramic views of the Cotswold countryside over the white five bar gate on the Fosseway, admired by locals and visitors alike whilst highlighting the height of the town.”
“Looking down from the top of Digbeth Street early in the morning seeing the fields in the distance – an archetypal view of Cotswold buildings and scenery.”
“The panoramic views of the Cotswold landscape from the top of the QEII Field towards the Swells and Abbotswood. “
“Views from all directions up to the hilltop of Stow town with the church tower rising above it as the highest point.”
“View across the allotments – A tranquil green space providing outdoor recreation and enjoyment for people of all ages. A great asset for biodiversity, the natural habitat and older people.“
The views of… “The Square itself. “
Children from Stow Primary School commented on the distant view from their school playground and around the town-
“We like this view because all of the trees look good with different shapes of trees. We like seeing the hills. We like our adventure playground and we like our field a lot” - “We love the views down the alleyways as they show the history of our town.”
It is therefore important that these views from Stow-on-the-Wold are not eroded and taken from the public domain and used by developers for their sole benefit whilst also being conscious of the views towards the Town from outlying areas and the impact any development may have.
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 20 BUILDINGS WE LIKE
“The charm of Sheep Street with its mixture of styles with varying rooflines whilst all sympathetically in keeping with the vernacular of the town and using predominantly local building materials. “ “Wraggs Row – not uniform, each house with its own architecture. “ “The Park Estate is a model that should influence any new social housing – different styles, built of Cotswold Stone, green space, trees and footpaths integrated with the housing. “ “The terraces in Sheep Street and Park Street; what a town should look like. A mix of styles, merging small terraced properties with some more grand, without appearing contrived or ’chocolate-box'.” “The wonderful collection of uniquely varied buildings surrounding Stow Square - full of surprises - maintaining our town's cherished relationship with its past and an appealing draw for future residents and visitors. “ “The variety of traditional stone buildings (no one specific building) in Stow with their varying heights and sizes – these should be copied to avoid modern uniform little boxes.” Stow Primary school - “Most of Sheep Street – varied rooflines etc - Housing in the Square - We love the rooftops and the history of the buildings, it tells our story - We love this building because we like the wonky roof” Stow Primary School talking about Enoch’s Tower - “We love this building because we like the castle top - It looks distinctive and looks like it tells a story. The towers look good. We like the steps up to the door and we like the curved door. We like the curved tops on the windows. We like the tower as it looks new, but it fits In well with the town. ”
BUILDINGS WE DO NOT LIKE
“The large and overbearing care home development at Hawkesbury Place. An out of character three storey overdevelopment in an exposed and insensitive location on the open hilltop. ” “Most of the new build permitted in Stow simply perpetuates the faux Cotswold style that doesn't exist in reality. Executive homes for the well-heeled, rather than a working town. “ “All those properties built in the 1960's and 70's constructed out of reconstituted stone (e.g. the old Doctors' Surgery); they look like cheap copies and are aesthetically awful. ” “I really dislike the way that the tall building at the Brio development looms over Chamberlayne House. It must be very unpleasant for residents. “ “New builds out of character with Stow and developments without trees etc. “ “Brick built properties in the town. “
Several themes emerge from the March 2020 community consultation as follows:
The views into, out of and within the Town are important and any new development proposals must consider the impact on these views, with particular reference to the height of the buildings. The evolution of the Stow-on-the-Wold built environment means that buildings are of varied design and roof scape and this is valued by the community who wish to see any new developments clearly influenced by these idiosyncrasies.
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 21 The community wish to see any new developments using Cotswold stone for walls and roofs to maintain the coherence of the built environment. The views of Stow-on-the-Wold from many directions show the buildings sitting within a wooded hill. The Community want any new development to take the greatest care to include green spaces, safe footpaths and trees.

10. GUIDELINES FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
The natural environment in which the Town is set, in the centre of the AONB, and the importance of the heritage evidenced by its wealth of Listed buildings and its Conservation Area demand that great care be taken to preserve that natural and built environment and the heritage already recognised by its Listed buildings and Conservation Area.
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 22 Stow-on-the-Wold’s key assets include:
• The Market Square • The Parish Church of St. Edward (Grade 1 Listed) • St. Edward’s Hall • The Police Station and old Magistrates’ Court • The Baptist Church • Network of historic Town Tures • A wealth of Grade 2 listed Buildings and assets some with their burgage plots (Please see Appendix 3 for a comprehensive list) • Many non-designated heritage assets (NDHAs) (Please see Appendix 4 for a comprehensive list) Identified Additional buildings and sites that help define the character of the Town (Please see Appendix 5 for a comprehensive list) An enviable elevated view of the local Cotswold landscape and setting within same.
The Swells’ key assets include: (please see Appendix 6 for a comprehensive list).
The guidelines below are to be read in conjunction with the Cotswold Design Code and are intended to ensure the preservation of the environment and heritage. They are intended to apply whether considering alterations to Listed buildings, works within the Conservation Area or otherwise within the Town and surrounding AONB, which covers the whole of the Parish, and whether or not the works under consideration require planning permission or Listed building consent.
Alterations and development within the Conservation Area
• The erosion of the historic value of buildings in the Conservation Area by alterations which neither conserve nor enhance buildings or their grounds or curtilages in the Conservation Area is to be avoided.
• Design should be sensitive to location, sympathetic to the surrounding buildings many of which may be Listed so as to ensure alterations conserve or enhance the quality of the area. Alterations to the infrastructure, for example signage, lighting, footpaths or roadways should respect the surrounding heritage.
• Materials should respect the heritage of the existing buildings and locality, using for example the appropriate Cotswold stone, correctly laid and mortared, appropriate doors and window frames and roofing materials. Planning applications will be expected to demonstrate how the design, materials and environmental contributions proposed have been influenced by the existing built and natural environments.
• Reconstituted stone and synthetic materials should be avoided as should wooden or tile hanging on walls. Similarly, although there has over the last century or so been some use of blue slate as a substitute for stone roof tiles, replacement of stone tiles
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 23 with slate should however be avoided. Blue slate may be acceptable on outbuildings and extensions if it does not detract from historic buildings.
Alterations to other buildings and other new development
• Outside the Conservation Area, design should be sympathetic to any adjoining Listed building, countryside or Conservation Area and should strive for the highest quality of design and materials.
• Development should not obscure or compromise key views of the surrounding landscape or important buildings, for example, views to the church and marketplace.
• Gardens essential to the settings of houses and cottages should not be used for new dwellings. Burgage plots should be retained intact. Garden walls should be of Cotswold stone construction or of appropriate native hedging.
• Traditional Cotswold stone walls and hedgerows should be preserved, created and appropriately maintained and managed.
• Developments should be of a density which reflects the character of the locality. They should provide good quality internal and external space, and proposals for residential accommodation should demonstrate how they provide for home working.
• Developments adjacent to open country should provide a gradation into the surrounding countryside through landform and appropriate planting.
• Materials should be sympathetic to the natural environment and built heritage. Traditional natural materials should be used, unless an alternative is unavoidable, and as a matter of course on public facing aspects. Where it is felt that an alternative is unavoidable a written explanation and justification should support the application.
• Modern, system-built design and construction methods will be supported where the height, mass and appearance of buildings is consistent with all other design requirements.
• Designs should reflect the built heritage in both design of the building and layout of the plot, ensure variety and avoid formulaic standardised design.
• Designs should be encouraged to be carbon neutral and development proposals should demonstrate how they take account of climate change challenges.
• Infrastructure improvements, alterations or additions should similarly reflect the local built heritage and landscape. Civic clutter and non-essential markings and signs should be avoided wherever possible and otherwise should be in keeping.
Version 3.0 (August 2020) Stow-on-the-Wold & The Swells Community Design Statement Page no. 24 • Lighting should be downward facing, sympathetic and not excessive to avoid light pollution for the surrounding countryside.
• Green spaces, trees, wildlife corridors and pedestrian and cycle access to the Town’s facilities should be incorporated into any new development.
• Plans for managing surface water run-off should be robust and explicit.
• Green links into the countryside should be maintained, and new links encouraged, with appropriate signage and facilities for access.
Residential developments of more than ten dwellings that are sited more than 500m from an existing play space should provide a dedicated play space.
• Development should not adversely impact on the sense of community in the Town.
• Development proposals should fully assess and manage the impact of additional vehicle movements and parking requirements and should provide sufficient off- street parking to service the requirements it generates, including residents, workers, visitors and deliveries.
• Car parking space widths should meet the Lifetime Homes standard. Where there is car parking adjacent to the home it should be capable of enlargement to attain 3300mm width. http://www.lifetimehomes.org.uk/.
• Planning applications will be expected to demonstrate how the design, materials and environmental contributions proposed have been influenced by the existing built and natural environments.
We hope that this Community Design Statement will inform future development and change. Stow-on-the-Wold has a wealth of assets which together create its unique beauty; its medieval Market Place, location within the centre of the AONB, Listed buildings, many of which owe their existence to the wealth created for the Town by its international importance in the wool trade. Added to this are its links with the outlying settlements and network of footpaths together with the views afforded in, around and over the Town.
The Town has suffered some examples of poor development over the years, even within or immediately adjacent to its Conservation Area. Some permitted development is clearly inappropriate to its setting and the Market Place in particular requires improvement.
We urge all who are contemplating development, repair or alterations to be mindful of our unique heritage in planning and executing any work, whether or not permission is required, so that the new fully complements the old.
