The report is required in the context of a proposed planning application for the demolition of the buildings and part redevelopment of the site for residential housing. 1.1.2 The remit of this report is not to provide a detailed comment or response to the proposed planning application, as this is dealt with within the supporting Planning Statement carried out by Cass Associates. The remit of this report is to analyse and draw conclusions as to whether or not there are other non-residential employment generating uses of the existing buildings which are viable, deliverable and sustainable as an alternative to the redevelopment of the site for housing. 1.1.3 The site and buildings are located in an area designated as a green barrier where there is a planning presumption against inappropriate development. 1.1.4 The Pre-Planning Application Advice Report dated 10th September 2018, Reference No. 058956 and Case Officer, Mr M Harris, states that “Planning Policy Wales (PPW) provides clear guidance that there is preference for employment generating uses for buildings in open countryside.” 1.1.5 The factors which we will analyse to reach our conclusions include the physical constraints of the existing buildings, locational factors, local, regional and UK market conditions and demand for employment generating uses, the UK economy and political stability, and financial constraints and considerations in the conversion of the existing monastery buildings. 1.1.6 We are advised that the remaining nuns have now moved to a Poor Clare’s Community attached to a parish in Nottingham and that the complex of buildings at Upper Aston Hall Lane have been vacated. 1.2 Qualifications 1.2.1 Bolton Birch is an independent firm of commercial property consultants based in Chester and we cover the geographical areas of Chester, Cheshire, Wirral and North Wales. 1.2.2 Bolton Birch is the longest established firm of commercial property consultants in Chester, having been trading for 37 years since we were established in 1981. 1.2.3 Jonty Goodchild, MLE, MRICS, has 23 years experience in the office and industrial sectors and his expertise is in the marketing, sale, letting and acquisition of commercial property. He has been a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) for 20 years and is also an accredited RICS registered valuer. 1.2.4 For further information on the practice please go to www.boltonbirch.com. 1.2.5 On a day-to-day basis the practice advises a wide variety of clients in connection with all aspects of commercial property and has a significant client base including Chester Cathedral, Chester Racecourse, London & Cambridge Properties, Handlesbanken, Sykes Cottages, Salmon Harvester Opportunity Fund, The Ursula Keyes Trust, Knight Frank Investment Management, to name but a few. 2.0 PROPERTY LOCATION 2.1 The Poor Clare’s Community is located on the eastern side of Upper Aston Hall Lane on the outskirts of the village of Hawarden and to the north west of the village centre. Please see location plan in Appendix A. 2.2 Hawarden is located in Flintshire, North Wales and is a village, community and electoral ward in the Deeside conurbation on the Welsh / English border and was historically a significant settlement in the area and is home to Hawarden Castle. The population of Hawarden Ward is relatively low, comprising of 1,858 in the 2001 Census increasing to 1,887 in the 2011 Census. Hawarden is located 6.7 miles to the west of Chester and is 4 miles from the English border. 2.3 Hawarden is primarily a residential area with very limited business or industry. The predominant property type is housing, serviced by a small selection of local shopping facilities including public houses / restaurants, The Gladstone Library, Hawarden Station, Hawarden Village Church School, Hawarden High School, Hawarden Estate Farm and a golf course. 2.4 Upper Aston Hall Lane is characterised by estate housing in the western side and sporadic development and open space on the eastern side of which the subject property forms part, and also includes detached houses, a day nursery, and Gladstone playing fields. 2.5 The only business and industry is located beyond the Hawarden settlement boundaries in two distinct locations. To the north west of Hawarden at Ewloe is St David’s Park which is accessed directly off a main junction of the A494 dual carriageway and comprises St David’s Park Hotel and an office development known as Lakeside Business Park with occupiers including Moneysupermarket and Redrow. To the south east of the settlement boundary is Hawarden Industrial Park which comprises a variety of industrial / warehousing units and facilities. There is very limited business / industry located within Harwarden itself. 3.0 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION 3.1 The Poor Clare’s Community comprises a complex of buildings which were purpose built as a monastery and dates from the period following the Second World War. 3.2 The design, function and layout of the buildings is bespoke to their use as a monastery and comprises of a variety of chapels, meeting, chapter and prayer rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, laundry, refectory, canteen, bedrooms, lounges, bathrooms, dormitories etc. 3.3 In total, the footprint of the building extends to approximately 2,168 sq m (23,336 sq ft) and the size of the whole building over two storeys is approximately 3,750 sq m (40,365 sq ft). 3.4 As a consequence of the bespoke nature of the building it is extremely compartmentalised in nature with in excess of 100 specifically designed areas / rooms. We refer to photographs taken on our site inspection contained within Appendix B and to the floor layout plans contained within Appendix C. 3.5 The construction type is two-storey, load bearing brick under pitched and slated roofs with elevations incorporating white UPVC double glazed windows, in addition to some original timber framed windows 3.6 It is clear from the construction type, and particularly the brickwork used, that the complex has been extended and added to over the years. 3.7 Internally, the accommodation is of a basic and dated nature with little modernisation or upgrading having been carried out since its original construction in the 1940’s / 1950’s. In our opinion the property requires a significant programme of refurbishment and improvement. 3.8 The property is accessed from a private driveway from Upper Aston Hall Lane which leads to the front of the premises. For a property of this size there is very limited car parking available with space for only 5 to 10 vehicles. 3.9 To the rear of the property there is established woodland which we are advised is to be retained and does not form part of the proposed planning application. 4.0 KEY PLANNING ISSUES 4.1 We do not propose to describe or refer to the relevant planning policy in detail as this is contained within The Planning Statement prepared by Cass Associates. Briefly, however, we comment as follows. 4.2 The subject site lies outside the settlement boundary for Hawarden and Ewloe in the Flintshire Unitary Development Plan (FUDP). The FUDP is for the period 2000 – 2015 and, as such, it is time expired. As a consequence, particular regard needs to be given to consistency between the FUDP and Planning Policy for Wales. 4.3 The subject site is located within green barrier designated land which has a presumption against housing development. However, according to Planning Policy Wales (PPW) there could be Very Exceptional Circumstances (VEC’s) to justify housing in the green barrier. One of the VEC’s is if it can be demonstrated that, by way of an analysis of the property market, other non-residential uses on the site are neither viable, deliverable or sustainable. 4.4 I refer to the Pre-Planning Application Advice Report (Appendix D), Reference No. 058956 under Case Officer, Mr M Harris, dated 10th September 2018. Within this document under the heading “Planning Policy Framework” Mr Harris states that “it is unlikely that there will be a need for such a large building / site within the community for a community use and that Planning Policy Wales (PPW) provides clear guidance that there is preference for employment generating uses for buildings in open countryside.” 4.5 It is generally regarded that employment generating uses are those uses contained within Use Classes B1 (Business), B2 (General Industrial) and B8 (Storage or Distribution) of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 as amended. Use Classes B2 and B8 cater for industrial processes and warehousing and operate out of bespoke industrial / warehouse units and clearly, such uses are not appropriate to the construction type or layout of the subject property, so will not be commented on further in this report.

  • Grave Slab, Hawarden the Memorial Inscriptions in Hawarden Parish Church
    GRAVE SLAB, HAWARDEN THE MEMORIAL INSCRIPTIONS IN HAWARDEN PARISH CHURCH By W. Bell Jones HE parish church of St. Deiniol, Hawarden, T probably dates from the thirteenth century, but with the exception of a tombstone or coffin lid of about that date, of which a drawing is here in­ serted,1 it presents no object of any great antiquity. There are several reasons which account for this. No doubt this church, in common with others, suffered heavily at the time of the " Great Pillage," as it certainly did during the Commonwealth period, when the ancient stained glass, and probably much else, was destroyed.2 Again in 1742 the church underwent a " renovation," which consisted of plaster and whitewash and the removal of old woodwork. In 1816 further "improvements" were effected, the remains of the old rood screen being then removed, while to complete the devastation a fire occurred in 1857, which practically left nothing standing save the tower and the walls. These circumstances account for the meagreness of ancient memorials in a church with a history covering at least 700 years and in close proximity to an old border castle, the scene of many stirring events, and the 1 The stone is 31 inches long, 12 inches wide at the top and 9 inches at the bottom. It was used as a gravestone in 1777, but it is now placed in the church porch. 2 See Phillips, Civil War in Wales and the Marches. 170 The Memorial Inscriptions in home of the Montalts, Stanleys, and other noble families. In recording the various memorial inscriptions now remaining in the church, the first place may be given to those of the Ravenscrofts of Bretton.

Due to the pandemic I have had held the position of Chairman for two years. I hope that you will enjoy reading about the work of the Community Council and the positive impact that we have upon the local communities of Hawarden that include the electoral wards of Aston, Ewloe, Hawarden and Mancot. I would like to thank the elected members and officers of the Community Council for their hard work particularly during this unprecedented pandemic. The Councillors and members of staff have had to learn different ways of working with virtual meetings becoming the “norm”, a feat that had not even entered our minds previous to March 2020.
