Listing NGR: SD3800676725 Selected Sources Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details National Grid Reference: SD 38006 76725 Map DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORKS Erect a 1 metre high picket fence along a 10 metre length of the edge of the lawn with a picket style garden gate for access to the garden and a picket style driveway gate across a section of our driveway which no neighbouring property has right of access. ASSESSMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE Boarbank Farm dates from 1878 and is situated to the north east of Boarbank Hall. The Stable Range was thought to be built for Boarbank Hall. The significance of the heritage asset is mainly due to it’s scale and use of local materials and of course the Clock Tower. It is a prominent landmark within the village. JUSTIFICATION AND MITIGATION STRATEGY It is accepted that for the LPA to consider this application, it is necessary to provide a detailed description and justification of the works. BACKGROUND The proposed works are to fence the garden to make it safe and secure for reasons which include: an enclosed area for my two Shih Tzu dogs to roam and to make it more private now that the neighbouring property 2 Boarbank Farm has become a holiday let, which increases the traffic down the drive significantly. EXTENT OF WORKS The proposed fence and gating of the garden will give us some privacy and a distinct boundary to our property where my dogs can play in the garden without them running down the drive to greet people coming to the properties at Boarbank Farm especially unsuspecting strangers arriving at the holiday let. The garden will be a safe enclosed space to be when friends and relatives visit with young children. ASSESSMENT The proposed fencing and gates are of low scale and will have a positive impact on the significance of the heritage asset. The classic victorian picket fence and gates will be in keeping with the property. ACCESS The garden works at the property will not change in terms of access to or from the site or within in the property itself. HISTORICAL INTEREST In years gone by when Boarbank Farm was a working farm the garden was in fact completely fenced and offered a grazing facility to a very nice horse. .

  • A History of Kents Bank
    A History of Kents Bank. Kents Bank lies to the west of Grange over Sands and until the middle of the 19th century it comprised a few buildings on the shore where the cross bay route across Morecambe Bay met the land. Abbot Hall and Kents Bank House, then known as Kents Bank Hotel which was operating as a lodging house, stood on opposite sides of the road at the base of the hill now known as Kirkhead Road. A railway station had opened in August 1857 on the "Ulverstone to Lancaster" railway running along the edge of the shore. Part way up the hill on Kirkhead Road was Laneside Farm. Further along the coast, towards Grange, Guides Farm sat on the shore at the bottom of the road now known as Carter Road. Seawood House was above Guide Farm at the top of the steep hill with access from Carter Road. The two roads climbed northwards up the hill to join the main road linking Grange with Flookburgh. Kentsford Road, the connecting road between Kirkhead Road and Carter Road, did not exist. The land between Kirkhead Road, Carter Road and Allithwaite Road was farmland. Mary Lambert – Landowner. Mary Winfield Lambert owned all the land and buildings around Kirkhead Road including Laneside Farm which was the base for the agricultural operations on the land in Kents Bank. On her death in 1857 Mary Winfield Lambert lived at Boarbank House, Allithwaite. Miss Lambert’s estate stretching from Boarbank Hall in Allithwaite to Abbot Hall in Kents Bank was sold by auction in August 1858 to ‘capitalists from Manchester, Bury and Whitehaven’ (Westmorland Gazette Aug 28 1858).

  • A History of Allithwaite
    A History of Allithwaite. This short history pulls together pieces of research and information on the village of Allithwaite but will hopefully lead to more in depth research in the future. Allithwaite lies to the north of Morecambe Bay, south of the historic village of Cartmel and en route from Grange-over-Sands to Flookburgh. No river flows through the village but springs perculate through the limestone on which the village is built with a beck running out from the rock at the lowest point of the village and these water sources will have encouraged early settlements. The village is built on the lower slope of a hill called Templand. Earlier histories talk about the outlying areas such as Templand and Birkby, Applebury and Outerthwaite, Rosthwaite and Wraysholme but very little about the village itself and the growth of the village can be documented after the building of the church and school in 1865 and more dramatically in the 20th century. Early history Artefacts (stone blades) from Kirkhead cave on the southern outskirts of the village date to approximately 11000 to10000BC. The cave is one of the most northerly recorded Palaeolithic sites in the country (Lindale Low being the other site). Most recently, at the start of the 21st century, Bronze Age remains from between 1500-1000 BC have been found in the centre of the village. From this period into the Iron Age, archaeologists state there is a lack of settlement evidence in the area. Kirkhead may have played an important part in local history as it has been suggested by more than one historian that this was the place where the first chapel in the Cartmel area was built.
