BRICKENDON Longford, Tasmania Conservation Management Plan BRICKENDON Longford, Tasmania Conservation Management Plan Prepared for: Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts GPO Box 787 CANBERRA ACT 2601 Prepared by: Clive Lucas, Stapleton and Partners Pty. Ltd. with Austral Archaeology Pty. Ltd. and Gwenda Sheridan, historic landscape consultant 155 Brougham Street Kings Cross, Sydney, 2011 Telephone: (02) 9357 4811 Facsimile: (02) 9357 4603 Issue: Revised 9th January 2008 © Clive Lucas, Stapleton & Partners Pty. Ltd., 2008 CLIVE LUCAS, STAPLETON & PARTNERS PTY LTD Executive Summary Executive Summary Brickendon is a 458-hectare mixed farming property located on the alluvial soils of the Macquarie River flood plain, approximately 2 km from the centre of Longford, Tasmania. Two precincts have been identified within the study area: the House Precinct containing a set of pre- 1850s estate buildings, including the main house in its garden setting, stables, coach house, coachman’s cottage and gardener’s cottage; and the Farm Village Precinct, containing a large group of colonial farm buildings in timber or brick, built in the vernacular style, as well as some modern structures. The two Precincts are located about 500 metres apart on opposite sides of what is now a public road known as Woolmers Lane. The paddocks surrounding the main groupings of buildings were also included in the study. A separate volume dedicated to the assessment and management of the landscape elements accompanies this report. Brickendon is recognised by the Tasmanian Heritage Council for its cultural heritage significance. Brickendon has been entered in the National Heritage List and, together with ten other convict sites in Australia, Brickendon is part of a serial nomination to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for inscription on the World Heritage List. This management plan has been prepared in accordance with the National Heritage Management Principles. The property is a privately owned farming property and is wholly owned and managed by Richard and Louise Archer. Parts of the property are open to the public as a tourist attraction, and two of the 19th century buildings are available for overnight guest accommodation. The official National Heritage Values of the place are set out in Sections 4 and 5, while a more general statement of significance of the place is formulated in Section 5, as follows: Brickendon is of outstanding cultural heritage significance as a remarkably intact Colonial rural estate. Associated for its entire history and to the present day with the Archer family, prominent settlers in northern Tasmania, the property contains all the things one associates with a country estate, including a quintessential Colonial house and garden, as well as a village arrangement of early farm buildings, set some distance from the main house in an early Colonial landscape of paddocks and drives lined with hedgerows, all of which is little different from its original configuration. Brickendon is a classic example of an early Colonial, pre-1840, country property. Developed principally during the period of convict transportation to Van Diemen’s Land (prior to 1852), Brickendon is historically associated with the convict assignment system; documentary records indicate that in the 1840s, about half of the occupants of the estate were convict assignees. The archaeological resource at the property has the potential to contribute to the understanding of the convict assignment system. Brickendon contains a set of timber farm buildings dating from the 1820s which are unique in Australia. In addition to the two Dutch barns and pillar granary, the place contains a set of farm buildings arrayed in a strict village arrangement which is rare in Australia. Brickendon is of aesthetic significance as an evocation of rural England, for which the northern midlands of Tasmania is well known. The architectural qualities of the main house, brick coach house, Brickendon, Longford, Tasmainia Conservation Management Plan Executive Summary CLIVE LUCAS, STAPLETON & PARTNERS PTY LTD chapel, fowl house, and the vernacular farm buildings demonstrate that the estate was laid out and built as a place of high quality from the outset. The constraints arising from the significance of the place, its statutory obligations, and an assessment of the current pressures and owners’ requirements for the place are discussed in Section 6. The Conservation Policies (Section 7) provide a framework of guidelines for decision making about the place. Key recommendations include • A maintenance schedule including an identification of urgent maintenance works • Guidelines for when to involve tradesmen and professional heritage advice • Recommendations for ameliorating the current interpretation measures and for managing the impact of visitors, with regard to avoiding intervention in significant fabric • Policies for archaeological management and unforeseen discoveries • Recommendations for compatible uses of the place • Identification of reconstruction/restoration opportunities. The Implementation section (Section 8) revisits the National Heritage Management Principles and recommends methods for adopting the principles and carrying out the recommendations of the Management Plan.

Assessor's Summary of Significance: Established on a land grant in 1817, Woolmers Estate is significant for its history of property development using assigned convict labour. Convict labour was employed in exchange for food and clothing. The assignment system helped to develop the colonial infrastructure, reform convicts, assist settlers in establishing their estates, and in the case of Woolmers, develop the foundations of a successful pastoral property. The homestead assemblage of Woolmers provides evidence of the use of an assigned convict labour force in the extant convict workplaces such as the woolshed, blacksmith shop, stables, gardens and paddocks. The former chapel was built to assist convicts in their reformation. The layout and architecture of the estate demonstrate the strong distinction between master and servant and how that facilitated the assignment system. Woolmers retains an outstanding range of extant buildings that comprises houses, formal gardens, outbuildings, workshops, cottages, plants that along with numerous artefacts provide a rare record of the scale and range of operations of a substantial pastoral estate owned by wealthy colonial pastoralists.

  • East Herts District Plan
    East Herts District Plan Strategic March 2017 Land Availability Assessment 1.0 Introduction 1.1 National planning policy requires all Local Planning Authorities to produce a technical study known as the Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA) in order to identify sites with potential for future development. The SLAA has informed work on the District Plan and Neighbourhood Planning. It has also assisted with the identification of future land supply. 1.2 The SLAA is a ‘live’ document in that it should be updated on a regular basis in order to reflect changing circumstances. Therefore, this version of the SLAA presents the most up to date position as at March 2017. 2.0 Methodology 2.1 Paragraphs 019 to 021 of the PPG identify that, when undertaking a SLAA, sites should be considered against three criteria, namely; suitability, availability and achievability. These terms are explained below. Suitability The assessment of suitability takes into account a range of policy constraints. These include environmental and heritage designations, impact on landscape and character, flooding and Green Belt / Rural Area Beyond the Green Belt. Availability A site is considered to be available if there are no legal or ownership issues which would prevent the site coming forward for development. Achievability Achievability is effectively a judgement about the economic viability of a site, and the capacity of the developer to complete the development over a certain period of time. 2.2 Having assessed each site against the three criteria, a conclusion can be reached. If a site is considered to be suitable, available and achievable, then it is regarded as being ‘deliverable’.
