Planning Application No. 19/00914/FUL Littleworth House, Littleworth, Pewsey, SN9 5LF From: caroline wells Sent: 12 March 2019 13:00 To: Developmentmanagement Subject: Planning Application 19/00914/FUL - Objection - Littleworth House SN9 5LF Planning Application No. 19/00914/FUL Littleworth House, Littleworth, Pewsey, SN9 5LF Further to a telephone conversation with Emma Gillespie, Case Officer for this application, on Friday 8th March. I explained that we had only become aware of this particular application very recently, and were unable to confirm the details of the application or the deadline for comment, as Wiltshire Council's Planning website had been unavailable for a number of days. I requested an extension of the deadline because of its unavailability, but Ms Gillespie explained that while that was not in her remit to grant this, she would continue to accept comments up to the date of her final decision. We therefore wish to make you aware of our objections to the proposed two storey extension at Littleworth House SN9 5LF, Planning Application No. 19/00914/FUL. We have consulted both the Milton Lilbourne Village Design Statement (VDS) and the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) dated February 2019. Although Kennet District Council was abolished in 2009 and became part of Wiltshire Council, we note that the Milton Lilbourne VDS states at 1.1 that it is to be used … as an emerging supplementary planning document to the current Kennet District Council Local Plan 2011. The hamlet of Littleworth sits within the parish of Milton Lilbourne, which itself lies is the Vale of Pewsey, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Littleworth House is an extremely attractive property, blending in gracefully with the surrounding landscape, with the dramatic Martinsell Hill forming the backdrop to the property as its approached from the crossroads of the B3087. It is, without doubt, the most charming property in the hamlet. The scale of the proposed extension, which will double the frontage of the property, will dominate and, we feel, monopolise the approach to the hamlet, changing the landscape irrevocably. What is now a pretty house will become an imposing property, out of keeping with its location. While we understand that the applicants naturally wish to fully benefit from the views of Martinsell Hill to the rear of the property, we believe that this will be to the detriment of the hamlet and not in accordance with the Milton Lilbourne VDS, specifically the Main Recommendations at 2.2, The Visual Character of the Surrounding Countryside at 4.1 and The Relationship Between Buildings and Spaces at 5.4. While we acknowledge that 5.4 specifically mentions Milton Lilbourne, we feel it should also be used in conjunction with the hamlet of Littleworth in this context; 2.2 c) Keep the character of the village settlement in sympathy with the surrounding countryside 4.1 Although it is important to maintain the individuality of each hamlet, they must continue to blend into the surrounding countryside. 5.4 …. character and heritage are derived from dwelling which stand within their own ground in proportion with the size of the plot. This creates a feeling of space within the village … A planning application for a much smaller two storey extension, registered by the previous owners in 2003 (Kennet District Council application No. K/045193) was approved because it was subservient to the main building. The current proposed extension is anything but subservient. Finally, the NPPF specifically sets out in Section 15 - Conserving and enhancing the natural environment - that: 172. Great weight should be given to conserving and enhancing landscape and scenic beauty in National Parks, the Broads and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which have the highest status of protection in relation to these issues. The conservation and enhancement of wildlife and cultural heritage are also important considerations in these areas, and should be given great weight in National Parks One potential option which would visually reduce the impact of any extension on the front of the property, could be to turn it through 90 degrees and build it out to the rear of the property. We are happy to meet with Case Officer to discuss our concerns further, if required. Kind regards Mr & Mrs A Wells Totteridge Farm House Littleworth Pewsey Wiltshire SN9 5LF.

  • Historic Landscape Character Areas and Their Special Qualities and Features of Significance
    Historic Landscape Character Areas and their special qualities and features of significance Volume 1 Third Edition March 2016 Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy Emma Rouse, Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy www.wyvernheritage.co.uk – [email protected] – 01747 870810 March 2016 – Third Edition Summary The North Wessex Downs AONB is one of the most attractive and fascinating landscapes of England and Wales. Its beauty is the result of many centuries of human influence on the countryside and the daily interaction of people with nature. The history of these outstanding landscapes is fundamental to its present‐day appearance and to the importance which society accords it. If these essential qualities are to be retained in the future, as the countryside continues to evolve, it is vital that the heritage of the AONB is understood and valued by those charged with its care and management, and is enjoyed and celebrated by local communities. The North Wessex Downs is an ancient landscape. The archaeology is immensely rich, with many of its monuments ranking among the most impressive in Europe. However, the past is etched in every facet of the landscape – in the fields and woods, tracks and lanes, villages and hamlets – and plays a major part in defining its present‐day character. Despite the importance of individual archaeological and historic sites, the complex story of the North Wessex Downs cannot be fully appreciated without a complementary awareness of the character of the wider historic landscape, its time depth and settlement evolution. This wider character can be broken down into its constituent parts.

  • Archaeological Research Agenda for the Avebury World Heritage Site
    This volume draws together contributions from a number of specialists to provide an agenda for future research within the Avebury World Heritage Site. It has been produced in response to the English Heritage initiative for the development of regional and period research frameworks in England and represents the first formal such agenda for a World Heritage Site. Following an introduction setting out the background to, need for and development of the Research Agenda, the volume is presented under a series of major headings. Part 2 is a resource assessment arranged by period from the Lower Palaeolithic to the end of the medieval period (c. AD 1500) together with an assessment of the palaeo-environmental data from the area. Part 3 is the Research Agenda itself, again arranged by period but focusing on a variety of common themes. A series of more over-arching, landscape-based themes for environmental research is also included. In Part 4 strategies for the implementation of the Research Agenda are explored and in Part 5 methods relevant for that implementation are presented.
