Introduction 1.1 This Design & Access Statement and Heritage Statement has been prepared by Fowler Architecture and Planning Ltd on behalf of Mr & Mrs J Cameron to accompany the submission of a Householder Planning Application at Fyfield House, Fyfield, Pewsey, Wiltshire. The proposal involves the restoration of the detached property into a modern family home, including the following developments for which planning permission is applied for: • The demolition of the existing garden room on the west elevation and the erection of a single storey kitchen extension measuring 9 metres by 6.6 metres with an ancillary larder. 1.2 This Statement meets the requirements of Article 8 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Order) (England) 2010 and ‘Guidance on Information Requirements and Validation’ published March 2010, and provides a Design & Access Statement (including a Heritage Statement) to illustrate the process that has led to the development proposal, and to explain the proposed development in a structured way; with the scheme addressing the following criteria:- • To deliver the client’s aspirations for the improvements to the dwellinghouse; • To provide additional habitable space at the dwelling; and • To provide a design that will improve the visual aesthetics of the building. 2. Site and Surroundings 2.1 Fyfield House is a two and a half storey detached dwelling situated within the hamlet of Fyfield, approximately 0.5 miles east of Pewsey, Wiltshire. The property is accessed via a countryside lane that joins the B3087 Pewsey to Burbage Road and is located on the west side of the lane. 2.2 The property is set away from the lane frontage with a principal elevation facing south with views across its landscape grounds, the vale towards the Salisbury Plain. The house dates from the mid 19 th century and comprises a main double fronted and plan with seven bedrooms and accommodation over two and a half storey. The property has been extended and improved with the addition of a single storey library wing to the east elevation, a small garden room conservatory to the west and range to the rear. 2.3 Fyfield is within the North Wessex Downs AONB and is a designated Conservation Area, originally designated in 1985. The Conservation Area Character Appraisal (published 2004) identifies Fyfield House as a ‘Significant Unlisted Building’ and notes many ‘Significant Trees’ are located within the extensive grounds. The Character Appraisal States: 3 Fyfield House, Fyfield – D&A Statement Fowler Architecture and Planning Ltd The house was built on the site of a former farmhouse and yard between 1842 and 1880 as a simple large scale four square country mansion with uninterrupted views of Salisbury Plain to the south. In 1997 the house was substantially extended with a linked single storey block to the east, an entrance porch to the north raised to two storey and in 1988 an Ogee roofed conservatory to the west. The main rooms have an outlook of lawns and formal gardens to the south. The conservatory also looks out over a water garden to the west. A detached stabling block off the north courtyard is now a children’s playroom and a mid 20th century bungalow approached off the drive is in a separate courtyard. Gardens sloping to a new ha–ha in the south include a variety of trees with particularly significant Scots pine within the east and west hedgerow boundaries. Larch, birch and beech are also mature species within the grounds. The rear or north of Fyfield House was originally symmetrical along the lines of the south front except for a central 3 storey projecting bay. This is surmounted by a gable similar in design to the dormer roofs. The house was formerly approached by a longer sweeping drive to the south side for an entry by the original front door. But since architectural emphasis has been placed upon the new north entrance the drive now terminates in the yard. Linked to its east side is a single storey wing of 1997. It is simple in design with a low pitched lead roof and subtle detailing in brick and stone to echo the original. The porch is perhaps less successful but undoubtedly improves the interior. Fyfield House although with little of the historic or architectural character of Fyfield Manor is with its fine groups of trees and landscaped grounds a major element in the high environmental standard of the Conservation Area. The original house was built four square and symmetrical in 2-storeys and attics on a large scale in Pewsey red brick with a stone string course, slate hipped roof and a chimney stack at each corner. Casement windows throughout are recessed from the face in substantial canted reveals and covered by stone label moulds. The sills on the ground floor have been lowered which improves both the outlook and the external proportions. The dormers are faced in brickwork with coped gables of stone. The symmetry and architectural detail appear to be both robust and storm proof. 3. Planning Context Planning History 3.1 A search of relevant and recent planning applications at the proposal site reveals the following:- 4 Fyfield House, Fyfield – D&A Statement Fowler Architecture and Planning Ltd • K/17982 – Erection of summer house, plant room and changing room for swimming pool – Approved October 1991 • K/32634 – Alterations and extensions (single storey and first floor) to existing house – Approved April 1996 • K/44457/T – Re-pollard one Poplar. Fell to ground level and allow re-coppice one Pussy Willow - Approved • K/45278/T – Crown thin Silver Birch - Approved • K/43935 – Conversion of domestic outbuilding to playroom – Approved September 2002 • K/57504/TR2 – The felling and stump removal of two holly trees and one silver birch tree, and the pollarding of one ash tree at approximately 15ft - Approved • K/59282/TR2 - Works to trees at the property to consist of: the felling and stump removal of laurels at the top and bottom of the driveway, the crown raising over the roof and to clear power lines on a purple plum tree, the felling and stump grinding of two holly trees, the crown raising and pruning over the tennis courts and bungalow of four cherry / prunus trees, the felling and stump removal of two silver birch trees and of holly - Approved 3.2 As is evident from the above, there is no adverse planning history associated with the site that renders the proposal unacceptable in planning terms. Planning Policy Context 3.3 It is considered that the proposed development accords with planning policy guidance set at all levels including Kennet Local Plan Policy PD1. 4. Involvement 4.1 No formal pre-application discussions with Wiltshire Council have been undertaken. 5. Design Statement Design Principles 5.1 It is agreed that any new development within this location should be of a high quality of design and execution, and be well related to its context. It is essential that any new development must have regard to the overall mass, scale, volume and relationship with its host building and Conservation Area. A set of design principles was arrived by an understanding of the following principles: • An analysis of the site, surroundings and host building; • Review of planning history associated with the site; and • Research of planning policy. 5 Fyfield House, Fyfield – D&A Statement Fowler Architecture and Planning Ltd 5.2 A number of fundamental guidelines were formulated. The new development should be constructed in keeping with the character of the area and host building in terms of scale, massing, appearance and materials. Design & Heritage Statement 5.3 It is considered that the design of the new development respectfully follows the fundamental guidelines outlined in the Design Principles above. 5.4 The new single storey kitchen extension would replace an existing conservatory that was added in 1988. The extension would measure 9 metres by 6.6 metres and positioned to the west side of the property, set back 1.3 metres from the south elevation frontage, 3.8 metres high to the top of the parapet and 4.2 metres to the lantern. This extension would be constructed of brick to match the host building with a stone entablature and stone column detailing, under a single ply roof with a central roof lantern. 5.5 The extension would clearly read as a subordinate extension to the host building and would be complementary to the existing library wing which was added in 1997 to the east elevation. The setting back of the extension by 1.3 metres retains the dominance of the host building.

  • North Wessex Downs Stakeholder Engagement Report
    Stakeholder engagement from the North Wessex Downs options appraisal report Having identified a shortlist of 12 subsections of line in eight designated areas using the landscape assessment, the Stakeholder Advisory Group asked National Grid to carry out early stage engagement with stakeholders and the public at a local level. The aim of this early engagement was to gather information and intelligence on the areas to inform the options assessments and to gauge local attitudes and opinions on the work. It was also felt that involving local groups and individuals at the outset would not only help to identify any potential problems and challenges but also to give the local community a sense of ownership. It should be a requirement of any scheme taken forward to major engineering work that it has the support and involvement of local people. It was also agreed at the Stakeholder Advisory Group that National Grid should work closely with the North Wessex Downs AONB to present a collaborative, inclusive partnership approach to the local community. 1. Stakeholder meeting 1.1. A meeting was held on 27 November 2014, attended by National Grid, Camargue and representatives from North Wessex Downs AONB (Andrew Lord) and New Forest National Park (Sarah Kelly). The following points were discussed and agreed during the meeting: Stakeholder engagement would take place as soon as practical in the New Year. Ideally engagement events would take place on the same day with a workshop for selected, relevant individuals / organisations followed by a drop in event for the public (afternoon and evening). This initial stakeholder engagement would inform the landscape and technical work.

The Branch’s thanks are due for these favours. Deep gratitude must at the same time be expressed to Mr. H. C.
