  • Appeal Decision Hearing Held on 9 October 2013 Site Visit Made on 9 October 2013 by Jacqueline Wilkinson Reg
    Appeal Decision Hearing held on 9 October 2013 Site visit made on 9 October 2013 by Jacqueline Wilkinson Reg. Architect IHBC an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Decision date: 7 November 2013 Appeal Ref: APP/Y3940/E/13/2196123 Baydon Manor, Marridge Hill, Ramsbury, Marlborough, Wiltshire SN8 2HG • The appeal is made under section 20 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 against a refusal to grant listed building consent. • The appeal is made by Mr and Mrs P Stibbard against the decision of Wiltshire Council. • The application Ref E/2011/1572/LBC, dated 16 November 2011, was refused by notice dated 11 October 2012. • The works proposed are the demolition of the Winter Garden. Procedural matters 1. The appellant states that the proposal would be partial demolition, as the smaller attached vine house to the south would be retained. I have had regard to the list description and the relative volumes of the part to be demolished and the part to be retained as indicated on the application form. As only small ancillary and pre­existing structures would remain, the proposal would amount to total demolition of the principal building. I have therefore assessed this appeal on that basis and amended the description of the works. 2. For the purposes of Section 16 of the above Act, I have taken the whole heritage asset into account i.e. the grade II listed Manor House and its curtilage buildings, including the separately grade II listed Winter Garden. Decision 3. The appeal is dismissed.

  • Open Downland
    8. LANDSCAPE TYPE 1: OPEN DOWNLAND Location and Boundaries 8.1. The landscape type encompasses a number of distinct downland blocks from the Marlborough Downs (1A) and Horton Down (1C) in the west running through to the Lambourn Downs (1B) and Blewbury Downs (1D) in the east. Boundaries are mainly defined by topography and the Upper Chalk geology, and in the north relate to the top of the Scarp (landscape type 5). To the south, the edge of the chalk similarly forms a distinct boundary. Overview The Open Downlands are the remote heart and core of the North Wessex Downs, with the dramatic landscapes created by the underlying chalk rocks being one of the defining features of the AONB. The subtle curves and undulations of the landform are revealed by the uniform clothing of cropped grass or cereals creating a landscape with a simple and elemental quality, accentuated by vast skies. The open, expansive views are punctuated by distinctive beech clumps crowning the downland summits, forming prominent and highly visible landmarks. Sparsely populated, the downlands possess a strong sense remoteness and isolation. Predominantly in arable cultivation these are landscapes of great seasonal variation, with muted browns and greys of the chalk and flinty soils in the ploughed autumn fields, giving way to fresh greens of the emerging crops in winter and spring and sweeping yellows and golds of summer. The characteristic close-cropped springy downland turf of the surviving herb-rich chalk grassland provides an important habitat and this landscape type contains the largest areas of designated chalk grassland in the AONB, with 15 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
