Appellant: Mr Cronin Allowed Agent None 04.11.09 Two storey extension to dwelling 16 Milton Avenue Eaton Ford 2 HEARING 1. 0700038ENLBCA Unauthorised works to listed building 24 Middle Street, Great Gransden Mr & Mrs A I Fraser A Listed Building Enforcement Notice was issued on 6 April 2009 in respect of the construction of a spiral staircase, the blocking up of an existing staircase and its conversion into a cupboard, and the insertion of a boiler extraction flue. The Notice was issued because the works were contrary to Policies En2 of the Huntingdonshire Local Plan 1995 and B7 of the Huntingdonshire Interim Planning Policy Statement 2007 and the advice contained in PPG 15, and it was considered that listed building consent should not be granted because planning conditions could not overcome these objections. A Hearing was held on 22 September 2009. The Inspector’s Reasons: • The main issue was identified as the effect of the works on the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade 2* listed building • The floor, part of which had been removed to create an opening to accommodate the spiral staircase, probably only dated back to the 1930’s. The balustrades were probably made of plastered breeze block and the newel posts may have come from an ornate bed. The floor and the balustrade were of little historic interest • The blocked up stair case was a piece of poorly constructed builder’s work resulting in an impractical layout and was of little importance to the very considerable architectural and historic interest of the house as a whole • The spiral staircase is unobtrusive and improves the layout of the bedroom. Its form and construction serves to differentiate the later extension from the ancient part of the house • Although now removed, the boiler flue was clearly harmful to the appearance of the listed building and its special architectural and historic interest. • The works did not have any impact on the character or appearance of the Conservation Area The Listed Building Enforcement Notice was upheld but varied to delete reference to removal of the spiral staircase and the reinstatement of the floor, the re-opening the existing staircase, and the reinstatement of newel posts and handrails. Listed building consent was granted for the construction of the spiral staircase and the blocking up of the existing staircase and its conversion into a cupboard. WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS 2. 0900698FUL Proposed orangery The Old Coach House London Road, Wansford Mr P Stubbs 3 Planning permission was refused under delegation agreement against the recommendation of the Parish Council for the following reason: 1. The proposed form and design detail would conflict with the predominantly simple form and appearance of the existing building and the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Development Plan Policies, HIPPS 2007 and the SCS Incorporating Proposed Changes 2009 relating to preserving and enhancing the distinctiveness of villages and areas of architectural/historic importance. The Inspector’s Reasons • The Old Coach House lies behind buildings fronting London Road/Elton Road. The Inspector found that the proposed orangery would modify the original form of the building in an unsympathetic manner. In general terms, the design of the extension would harmfully complicate the relatively simple lines and form of the existing dwelling. • Whilst the extension would only be visible from the west bank of the Nene in a limited way due to partial screening, there is no certainty that this screening would remain in the long term. In those circumstances the unsatisfactory relationship between the extension and the existing house would come more distinctly into view. Although the suggested materials would partially mitigate the unsatisfactory relationship, the Inspector concluded that it is insufficient to overcome the material harm done to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. The appeal was dismissed The link to this planning application in Public Access is: http://planning.huntsdc.gov.uk/publicaccess/tdc/DcApplication/application_det ailview.aspx?caseno=IU9IJ9IKS0000 3. 0803124FUL Caravan Storage facility Cherry Hill Farm Keyston Road Covington Mr Blarwick Planning permission was refused under delegation agreement in accordance with the recommendation of Bythorn and Keyston Parish Council for the following reason, Catworth Parish Council did not comment: 1. The unsustainable rural location of the site would represent an intrusion into the countryside where no justification has been demonstrated. The applicant has failed to justify that the proposal constitutes farm diversification and therefore there is no justification to contravene policy which seeks to protect the countryside for its own sake. The proposal is therefore contrary to PPS1, PPS7, SS1 and ENV7 of the East of England Plan, Development Plan Policy, HIPPS (2007) and SCS (2008). The Inspector’s Reasons 4 • The appeal site is in a remote and secluded part of the District approached via a network of narrow rural lanes. HIPPS Policy E5 seeks to facilitate farm diversification in order to support agricultural businesses but the appellant occupies only 2.4ha of land, the benefits of the proposed use to the rural economy have not been established and the unit does not generate sufficient income to make it a viable farm enterprise. Therefore, the Inspector found that farm diversification cannot carry any weight in offsetting the objections based on clear planning policies. • The site is poorly related to the nearest towns. The use is one which is best located close to towns to minimise the transport of caravans to the site and to be more accessible for their owners. The Inspector accepted that the site is well screened but considered that the caravans would be visible through the eastern hedgerow from the adjacent bridleway, especially in winter months. The appeal was dismissed. The link to this planning application in Public Access is: http://planning.huntsdc.gov.uk/publicaccess/tdc/DcApplication/application_det ailview.aspx?caseno=IU9IJ9IKS0000 4. 0900682FUL Erection of two storey extension and replacement of flat roof to pitched Weybridge Lodge, Woolley Road Alconbury Mr A Wolf Planning permission was refused under delegation agreement contrary to the recommendation of the Parish Council for the following reason: 1. The proposed two storey extension projects beyond the existing side elevation creating an awkward relationship. The proposal does not complement the form or character of the dwelling. The fenestration is considered poor and does not result in a balanced elevation with a simple cohesive arrangement. The proposal is contrary to PPS1, PPS7, Development Plan Policy, Policy CS1 of the SCS, Policy B1 of HIPPS and the Huntingdonshire Design Guide. The Inspector’s Reasons • The Inspector considered that the extensions and alterations proposed would not restore the house to its original or most favourable appearance. He agreed with the Council that the general scale of the proposal is acceptable but considered the fenestration raises an issue for the appearance of the enlarged and altered house. The Inspector considered that in terms of its fenestration the appeal proposal would be materially harmful to the design and appearance of Weybridge Lodge as a whole. The appeal was dismissed.

The road carries high speed traffic and it is considered that, due to the servicing of the equipment and associated turning movements on the highway, the siting in the location proposed would have a significant detrimental impact on highway safety. As such the proposed siting is not considered to be acceptable. The Inspector’s Reasons • The site of the proposed development in on the highway verge on a very straight section of the A141 where high speeds are likely. The Inspector considered road safety as being a very important consideration in this case due to expectation of drivers to adopt high speeds along this stretch of straight road. However, once constructed this installation would only need servicing once or twice a year. He was satisfied that the need for a mast in this location is well founded in view of the unsuccessful exploration of alternative sites that has taken place and the substantial gap in the service that currently exists in the Hartford area.

  • USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction
    USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction During the Second World War, the East of England became home to hundreds of US airmen. They began arriving in 1942, with many existing RAF (Royal Air Force) airfields made available to the USAAF (United States Army Air Force). By 1943 there were over 100,000 US airmen based in Britain. The largest concentration was in the East of England, where most of the 8th Air Force and some of the 9th were located on near a hundred bases. The 8th Air Force was the largest air striking force ever committed to battle, with the first units arriving in May 1942. The 9th Air Force was re-formed in England in October 1943 - it was the operator of the most formidable troop-carrying force ever assembled. Their arrival had an immediate impact on the East Anglian scene. This was the 'friendly invasion' - a time of jitterbugging dances and big band sounds, while the British got their first taste of peanut butter, chewing gum and Coke. Famous US bandleader Glenn Miller was based in the Bedford area (Bedfordshire), along with his orchestra during the Second World War. Close associations with residents of the region produced long lasting friendships, sometimes even marriage. At The Eagle pub in Cambridge (Cambridgeshire), and The Swan Hotel at Lavenham (Suffolk), airmen left their signatures on the ceiling/walls. The aircraft of the USAAF were the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator - used by the Bombardment Groups (BG); and the P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning and P-47 Thunderbolt - used by the Fighter Groups (FG).

  • 1 Manorialization and Population Growth by Landlord Types And
    Manorialization and population growth by landlord types and landscape regions in Medieval England Junichi Kanzaka Soka University, Tokyo Abstract This paper examines the diverse processes of manorialization and population growth by landlord types and landscape regions in thirteenth century England. Factor analysis (maximum likelihood estimation and promax rotation) of the data from the Hundred Rolls identify three factors: classical structure, freedom, and demographic pressure. Manorialization characterized by the first two approximately independent factors differs by landlord type. Highly manorialized parishes were mainly occupied by the earlier-established ecclesiastical estates, while earls’ estates were relatively prominent in parishes where classical structures developed but free tenements were dominant. This study also reveals that many parishes were highly manorialized in the western and eastern champion regions of the Midlands and Chiltern. Furthermore, the factor of demographic pressure revealed other regional differences. While parishes in the western and eastern champion Midlands were manorialized in a similar way, the eastern part faced greater population pressure. However, the pressure in this region was still less than that in the south-eastern champion, and the East Anglian Heights. In the eastern champion Midlands, the size of villein holdings could be maintained, while in the latter two regions, villein plots fragmented and the number of free small tenements increased. 1 1. Introduction It is well known that several types of landlords built their estates in thirteenth century England. Furthermore, recently, archaeological and historical studies have revealed a variety of field systems and settlements in medieval England (Lewis et al., 2001; Robert and Wrathmell, 2002; Williamson, 2003; Jones and Page, 2006).

  • A P P E N D Ix
    HUNTINGDONSHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL SUMMARY OF REPRESENTATIONS RECEIVED Parish Representations Comments Received Abbotsley Abbotsley Parish Council Accepts in principle the rationale of amalgamating the Spinney Ward of Eynesbury Hardwicke parish and the remaining part of St. Neots Rural parish with Abbotsley. Concerns - - considered that a larger area will be more difficult to manage - greater drain on resources, particularly Parish Clerk - considered that larger area will be much more difficult to monitor Strong views that the area to the north of A428 should not be included in the new parish, this area is particularly alien to the village but due to difficulty of allocating this area of St. Neots Rural to any other area in relation to South Cambs boundary, that it was sensible for this area to be included – but demonstrates the general feeling that some new area outside the present village boundary has little relationship to the village. Prefer to retain name of – “Abbotsley Parish Council” and NOT – Abbotsley and Hardwicke Parish Council as smaller parishes are joining a much larger established parish. Also concern over number of councillors (seven at present) – will not be sufficient to cover larger area – as increased workload – could result in existing parish council from within the village being replaced by a majority from outside the village. Strongly opposed to any reduction in the number of councillors. Alconbury Alconbury Parish Council Concerns – not in favour of changes to boundaries – The airfield is in close proximity and anything occurring on site directly affects Alconbury residents. Esp. traffic. Parish Council would like to be consulted on any major developments on the airfield.
