Licence No 100023558 Current map of Seagrave showing the Conservation Area and the Listed Buildings Introduction Seagrave Conservation Area was designated in August 1980. It covers an area of 33.8 Hectares. The purpose of this appraisal is to examine the historical development of the Conservation Area and to describe its present appearance in order to assess its special architectural and historic interest. The appraisal will then be used to inform the consideration of management and development proposals within the Area. Seagrave Conservation Area 2 Character Appraisal - April 2010 This document sets out the planning policy context and how this appraisal relates to national, regional and local planning policies. The main part of the report focuses on the assessment of the special interest of the Conservation Area: • Location and setting describes how the Area relates to the historic village and surrounding area; • Historic development and archaeology sets out how architecture and archaeology are related to the social and economic growth of the village; • Spatial analysis describes the historic plan form of the village and how this has changed, the interrelationship of streets and spaces, and identifies key views and landmarks; • Character analysis identifies the uses, types and layouts of buildings, key listed and unlisted buildings, coherent groups of buildings, distinctive building materials and architectural details, significant green spaces and trees, and detrimental features. These elements are brought together in a summary of the special interest of the Conservation Area. An assessment of the general condition of the buildings and spaces within the Area is included. The main issues and proposed management actions are summarised. Recommendations for developing longer term management proposals for the area are suggested. The document is intended as a guide to people considering development which may affect the Conservation Area. It will be used by Development Control in their assessment of proposals. It may, of course, be used by residents of the Conservation Area. Planning Policy Context A conservation area is an area of special architectural or historic interest whose character or appearance should be preserved or enhanced. In making decisions on potential development within a conservation area, the Council is required to ‘pay attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of the area’. Permission will not be granted for proposals that are likely to harm the character or appearance of a conservation area. Sections 69 and 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. The Department of Communities and Local Government’s Planning Policy Statement 5 on “Planning for the Historic Environment” encourages local planning authorities to pursue their duties under Section 71 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, to formulate proposals to preserve and enhance conservation areas and of the need to consult widely in doing so. It also contains several policies that are relevant to conserving the character of conservation areas. The Regional Spatial Strategy for the East Midlands published in March 2009 advises local authorities that the historic environment should be understood, conserved and ehanced, in recognition of its own intrinsic value. Policy 27: Regional Priorities for the Historic Environment. Local Plan Policy EV/1- Design, seeks to ensure a high standard design of all new development and that the design should be compatible with the locality and utilises materials appropriate to the locality. The Council’s adopted Supplementary Planning Document ‘Leading in Design’ builds on the design policies set out in the Charnwood Local Plan and will contribute to the development of more effective approaches to securing good design in the emerging Local Development Framework. The guide is also intended to support the implementation of the community strategy, Charnwood Together, by providing a set of principles that will inform the physical development implicit in the initiatives and actions of all partners in the local strategic partnership. Seagrave Conservation Area 3 Character Appraisal - April 2010 1 Other SPG/SPD guidance • Backland & Tandem Development • House Extensions • Shopfronts & Signs2 ASSESSMENT OF SPECIAL INTEREST Location and Setting Seagrave is a village nestling in a fairly steep sided valley in the Wolds. It lies about 1 mile west of the Fosse Way and about 7 miles from Loughborough. Although many of the people now living in Seagrave work in Loughborough, Leicester and elsewhere, it was until recently a predominantly agricultural settlement being surrounded by good quality land. The Wolds are a limestone formation and the area around Seagrave is covered with a thick layer of cold, strong clay. The limestone itself, of the same quality as in Barrow upon Soar, has not been worked. The Conservation Area encompasses the whole of the built part of the village except for a few farm outbuildings. Included in the Area are the medieval earthworks to the south of Hall Farm as well as all the green spaces, such as the cemetery, the allotments, the playing field at the top and the hay meadows at the bottom, which are integral to the village. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT Origins and Development In 1630 Robert Burton was made Rector of Seagrave. In his Anatomy of Melancholy he described Seagrave as “sited in a champain at the edge of the Wolds and more barren than the villages about it; yet no place likely yields a better air”. Seagrave belongs to the system of parishes which radiate from the moot at Six Hills at the top of the Wolds. There is evidence of human activity in the area from the Stone Age and its proximity to the Fosse Way indicates that there was also Roman activity. However, the Foss was possibly constructed by the Romans on an already existing trackway. There was another trackway, called the Salt Way connecting Barrow upon Soar and Sileby and further west with the North Sea to the east. The settlement which we see today has its origins in a nucleated Saxon settlement, typical of the East Midlands. The village was surrounded by open fields which were divided into strips. There were three fields, Over, Milne and Nether, one for wheat or barley, one for peas and beans and one fallow. Decisions on when to sow, reap and plough were taken by common consent of the villagers, who were allocated strips in each field so that each would have a measure of the poorer and a measure of the better land. There were also meadows for the cattle and sheep and there were grazing strips amongst the arable land, variously called Hills, Plains, Woulds, Gorse, Plebbs and Walring Leys. Later, at the time of Enclosure in 1760, there were four open fields called Brinkfield, Ansleyfield, Overfield or Averfield and Netherfield, which may have been called Wichelsfield. The documentation of Seagrave starts with the Domesday survey of 1086 where the village is called Setgrave, Satgrave or Segrave. At this time half the village was owned by the King’s manor of Rothley which in 1140 passed into the ownership of Leicester Abbey. 2 While it is recognised that there are currently no shops in Seagrave, the shopfronts, such as at the corner of Church Street and King Street, remain and their design makes a significant contribution to the character of the Conservation Area. Seagrave Conservation Area 4 Character Appraisal - April 2010 Much of the medieval history of the village is concerned with the ownership of large parts of the parish by the de Segrave family but it is no longer clear where this family lived, if indeed they did live in the village. The present church of All Saints dates mostly from the 14th Century, with some 12th Century fabric. The Norman font is still in use. There were changes to the village with the Black Death of the 14th Century, with the Civil War and other events but the most significant change occurred with the Enclosure Act of 1760 when, a year later, the open fields were awarded to the major landholders thus enabling more efficient farming practice by holding the land in one area rather than on the strips scattered around the village. At the same time the poorer people in the village were dispossessed. The effect of enclosure was to create a landscape of hedgerows. At least until the middle of the 20th Century there were 11 working farms within the village. Following Enclosure the wide roads leading to the village were laid out and at the same time there were major improvements to transport in the Soar valley, first with the navigation of the Soar, followed not long after by the building of the railway. Seagrave did get some benefit but the effects on the village were not pronounced.

  • Area Forum Consultation Document - June 2007
    Charnwood Together Consultation Paper PROPOSALS FOR SETTING UP AREA FORUMS IN CHARNWOOD INTRODUCTION Charnwood Together is inviting comments on proposals to establish “Area Forums” (or “Community Forums”) covering the whole of the Borough of Charnwood. These proposals have been developed in response to decisions of Leicestershire Together, the county level Local Strategic Partnership, to promote the creation of such Forums across the whole County of Leicestershire. Area Forums will contribute to revitalised local democracy and effective community engagement across the Borough by facilitating public engagement with elected representatives. They will provide Forums for local issues to be raised with the appropriate local authority or other agency. It will bring Borough, County and Parish Council elected representatives together with partners to focus on local issues. Leicestershire Together has invited district Local Strategic Partnerships across Leicestershire to develop and implement Forums in ways that best meet local circumstances. To assist this process Leicestershire Together agreed a framework for the creation of these Forums – a Neighbourhood Engagement Policy Statement. That Policy Statement has been considered and adapted by Charnwood Together to form the proposals set out in this consultation document. The proposed Neighbourhood Engagement Policy Statement for Charnwood sets out the rationale which underpins the development of Area Forums. Highlighted below are the key issues relating to the operation of the Area Forums in Charnwood.
