Southampton City Council designated the Ethelburt Avenue (Bassett Green Estate) as a Conservation Area in September 1988. This recognised that ‘the special quality of this early example of the Garden City Movement is derived from its residential character, architectural quality and its generous layout in terms of the ratio between open space and buildings.’ It is not the purpose of conservation area designation to prevent change, rather it is to manage changes within a framework that allows adaptations to be made that will ensure the viability of an area without detracting from it’s special character. This document provides that framework. Planning applications for development in the Conservation Area are decided with regard to the need to preserve and to enhance it. In 1992 an Article 4 Direction removed some of the general permitted development rights and the following year Design Guidance for the Ethelburt Avenue (Bassett Green Estate) Conservation Area was published. All properties within the boundary are covered by the Article 4 with the exception of the infill development in Field Close and flats on the corner of Bassett Green Road and Stoneham Lane (shown in blue on the plan below). Southampton City Council as Local Planning Authority retains control over development affecting flats as they do not have the permitted development rights granted to development within the curtilage of a dwelling house. This Appraisal, Management Plan and a revised Article 4 Direction have been produced to address changes that have taken place within the Conservation Area and the surrounding area since its designation, to reflect changes in the legislation, and to clarify the Article 4 Direction for residents and planners alike. Appendix 2 summarises the relevant national and local planning policies. The aim of this document is therefore two-fold: 1. To identify the unique characteristics of the area in support of local planning policies to preserve and enhance the special character and appearance of the area. 2. To provide residents, Council officers and Members, appeal Inspectors and others with authoritative guidelines on the types of development and other changes that will preserve or enhance the area. The document is in three parts: 1. The Appraisal assesses what makes the area special, analyses its character and identifies issues and opportunities. 2. The Management Plan contains guidance on specific features identified in the Appraisal as significant elements in the character of the Conservation Area. 3. Appendices, including the revised Article 4 Direction. 1 The Appraisal Location and boundaries 23 14.9m Pavilion Collects Path 3 79 2 14.9m 61 Pavilion Collects Path 89 79 55 a 3 5 5 3 61 1 55a 3 47 9 45 1 1 El Sub Sta 57 89 199 55 a 2 3 59 2 5 53 1 5 1 2 119 55a 3 5 253 47 91 45 1 18 5 El Sub Sta 5 101 S 7 N 199 E Day D 2 R 2 25 A 9 G 59 1 5 LD Nursery 2 E 119 FI 183 R 5 12 25 4 E 9 3 3 M 18 M 5 U 101 S S N Pumping E Day D R 259 4 A 169 1 G Station LD 1 Nursery E 193 21 FI 183 R 12 4 E 9 3 M M U S 2 0 6 Pumping 2 16 1 1 7 4 91 1 169 1 49 Station 193 121 6 4 8 4 15 2 4 0 4 2 0 2 6 16 1 177 1 7 1 91 14 Bowling Green 0 9 2 3 6 4 8 7 4 15 151 2 4 0 17 4 5 177 1 Bowling Green 1 0 2 3 1 15 7 1 1 1 3 9 2 17 2 5 1 E 1 6 6 3 1 6 S 1 5 8 O 3 1 L 4 9 1 C 1 3 9 S 9 2 E Y 6 2 E N 1 1 A 6 6 3 1 1 6 S 5 O 8 W 3 O T L N S 4 9 9 C E 4 H 9 S E E 2 Y G 6 I R N 1 A R G O W T B N S 9 0 E 8 4 H E 2 G I R 4 El 3 R G B 0 Sub Sta 8 3 El B 4 El 3 1 E 2 2 6 2 M 7 Sub Sta 1 B 5 3 R Sub Sta El 1 B E I 2 2 6 D 8 7 2 M 7 G 1 B E 5 R Sub Sta I D 8 5 7 5 G 1 B 6 E R 9 6 A 5 5 6 D 1 CLO B 6 I S R E 9 N 8 6 22 A G 6 2 CLO D 4 SE I 21 N 8 22 G 24 CLOSE 21 CLOSE 1 1 0 1 1 0 9 1 9 0 2 1 1 1 2 0 5 2 4 1 1 2 5 Breamore 4 4 6 1 Breamore 4 6 1 6 4 6 4 2 6 3 2 6 3 0 7 5 0 7 5 6 1 6 1 Anton 1 Anton o 1 o t 7 3 t 7 3 2 2 1 1 5 5 3 3 2 2 2 2 7 16 El Sub Sta 7 16 El Sub Sta 7 7 4 4 Y 3 4 A 6 3 Y 3 2 2 4 A W 5 6 3 1 2 6 2 6 24 E W 5 1 8 1 D 6 1 6 I 24 E 8 1 S D 1 I A E S L A E L El Sub Sta 3 El Sub Sta 2 2 5 2 3 E 3 4 S 2 17 O 2 Court 5 L 2 3 E 4 C S 17 O Y Court L 3 A 1 16.5m C N W 5 Y 6 1 A 3 1 A D 1 16.5m 26 N 2 t 5 42.4m o 5 5 W 1 6 1 1 A 2 1 2 D L 2 26 0 2 t 5 9 42.4m o 1 5 6 1 3 5 36 1 1 2 2 L 2 6 0 3 1 4 1 3 9 6 BIN 3 S 1 5 TEA 3 D CLOSE 6 1 3 6 3 T ara 1 4 3 BINSTEA D CLOSE 1 3 2 3 1 T ara 1 0 3 1 13 7 2 2 1 3 17 1 3 7 4 63 (PH) 1 0 32 1 1 1 7 2 3 1 6 11 2 7 7 7 3 7 4 63 12 3 E (PH) N 9 A 1 1 5 2 L 6 1 5 3 2 7 0 M 7 A 12 H 3 E E N N 3 9 A O 1 3 5 L T 5 S 3 3 5 0 M 8 39.9m A H 11 1 E 4 N 3 O 4 El Sub Sta 3 1 1 1 LB T S 3 5 2 39.9m 8 4 STON 4 11 EHAM 1 1 C 4 LOSE 42 4 El Sub Sta 1 1 1 1 LB 48 24 STON 4 EHA 2 M 1 1 CL 1 OSE 4 53 2 2 2 Shelter 2 5 0 1 C HA 4 N 48 0 NE B LS ONCHURCH CL 9 OSE 2 2 1 1 53 2 2 Shelter 2 3 5 0 5 17.4m C 1 HA 3 4 N 0 79 NE 3 LS B 4 ONCHURCH CL 9 OSE 2 36.3m 2 3 C 5 1 R 17.4m 1 TCB 13 34.1m 79 47 3 1 2 1 4 1 6 2 36.3m a 0 2 9 29.3m C 1 R 5 1 4 2 TCB 0 34.1m 1 37 1 47 2 8 2 8 1 1 6 2 a 0 24.1m 9 1 29.3m 22.3m 6 7 5 4 2 0 6 1 37 6 D 2 8 8 A 2 O 1 R 2 8 Y 1 1 1 P 39.0m 4 1 1 24.1m 6 P 2 O 2 22.3m 6 P 6 7 She lter 6 13 5 35 6 6 3 D A 4 2 2 O 1 R 2 E 8 Y 1 S 1 1 1 1 P O 0 39.0m 4 19.5m 0 1 6 L P 6 4 C 2 O 2 6 P D L 2 Sh 3 e E l I ter 4 1 F 4 2 6 13 5 35 3 4 3 9 9 3 3 4 2 E 0 D 4 S BA 1 A 1 SS O E 0 19.5m T O 0 T L G 6 R 1 4 E R E 3 7 N C 2 RO A A 9 D I D L L 2 5 E 3 3 E I B 4 1 F O 4 3 L 1 2 23 5 3 3 4 11.9m 2 6 9 9 3 a 8 3 3 8 6 3 0 4 8 D 7 75 BA A S SET O T a 6 GRE 1 3 R E 3 7 N 2 RO A A 9 D I L 5 Tennis Courts 2 E 3 1 B O 6 3 3 L 51 1 2 5 3 3 This map is based upon Ordnance 11.9m 2 2 D 6 3 2 6 A a O 8 R 3 N 1 I 6 P 7.9m 8 6 87 U 3 7 L 5 m 3 6 5 .
