CHRIS DYSON ARCHITECTS LLP 2 ROTTEN FURLONG, BERWICK ST JAMES SP3 4UA 1.0 INTRODUCTION Berwick St James is a village and civil parish on the River Till in Wiltshire, England, about 7 miles northwest of Salisbury, on the southern edge of Salisbury Plain. In the Domesday Book of 1086, estates at Berwick and Asserton were part of Winterbourne Stoke; by the 12th century the village had its present name. Rotten Furlong is a late twentieth century bungalow on the south west perimeter of the village The house is single-storey, built of concrete block with a pitched, concrete tiled roof set in a gently sloping site. A single-storey pitched roofed extension and flat roofed garage were added to the rear (north) in the late 20C. In 2014, a Lawful Development Certificate was granted for its use without the agricultural occupancy restriction originally imposed on the original 1968 approval. 2.0 THE HISTORY OF THE BUILDING AND Above; Google earth Ariel View Below; Extract from OS map showing location CONTEXT 2.01 L O C A T I O N The house is located: Rotten Furlong, Berwick St James, Wiltshire. SP3 4UA CHRIS DYSON ARCHITECTS LLP 3 ROTTEN FURLONG, BERWICK ST JAMES SP3 4UA 2.02 F L O O D Z O N E M A P 3.0 PLANNING HISTORY Rotten Furlong is located outside of the Flood Zone 2 and 3 as shown below.

The house was extended to the rear, after 1985 and the original restriction for agricultural occupancy was lifted in 2014. CHRIS DYSON ARCHITECTS LLP 4 ROTTEN FURLONG, BERWICK ST JAMES SP3 4UA 4.0 THE PROPOSALS The proposed alterations involve the demolition of the 1980’s rear extension together with the adjacent garages whilst the original part of the house is to be retained with minor internal alterations. The kitchen projection is to be rebuilt and a new two storey extension is to be built on the site of the earlier rear extension. The external walls are to be clad in non combustable insulation panels with a self coloured render and cedar boarding finish. A new garage building is to be built at the bottom of the garden with a new access from the highway. The gross external floor area of the existing dwellinghouse is 243m² not including the greenhouse/ conservatory. These proposals give a gross external floor area of 304m² The scale of the proposed works, including its height, volume and shape, is appropriate in the context of the existing building. There will be no effect on views, vistas or on the skyline as a result of the proposal. The proposals will, therefore, be in scale with the surroundings. Viewed in isolation, the scale of the extensions and alterations and their detailing is on a human scale and is in keeping with the existing building.

This material does not relate to the local, venacular building materials of the village and are an unsympathetic late twentieth century introduction. The proposals involve the recladding of the external walls with a non combustable insulation material finished in a self coloured render with panels of vertical and horizontal cedar cladding. The existing fenestration is to be replaced with aluminium framed double glazing all finished in a dark grey colour. The existing roof is covered in a standard modern interlocking concrete tile with wide overhanging eaves which allow for the increased thickness of the external walls Below and right; Existing elevations CHRIS DYSON ARCHITECTS LLP 7 ROTTEN FURLONG, BERWICK ST JAMES SP3 4UA Below and right; Proposed elevations CHRIS DYSON ARCHITECTS LLP 8 ROTTEN FURLONG, BERWICK ST JAMES SP3 4UA CHRIS DYSON ARCHITECTS LLP 9 ROTTEN FURLONG, BERWICK ST JAMES SP3 4UA 5.0 DETAILED DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS A R C H A E O L O G Y The archaeological potential of the site stems from its location in an area the prehistoric landscape of Stonehenge. where prehistoric and Roman activity and several findspots are recorded. There are a number of bronze age barrows scattered over the landscape, many of which disappeared under ploughing. Nearby Berwick St James a Bowl Barrow still remains and another which survives as just a crop mark . As the site is to the perimeter of the village and occupies the site of the 1980’s extension then we would suggest that the scheme raises no Archaeological issues. E C O L O G Y The demolished 1980’s extension is still in domestic use and there is no evidence of protected species inhabiting either the building or the surrounding area 6.0 ACCESS STATEMENT A single-track access road serves the house and the fields beyond. The proposal in- cludes an improved vehicular access. Access to the house itself is undisturbed 7.0 CONCLUSION The proposed works are at a modest size and appropriate to the scale and massing of the property. The small scale changes are informed by a thorough understanding of the building is an analysis of its setting within a lareg mature garden. CHRIS DYSON ARCHITECTS LLP 10 ROTTEN FURLONG, BERWICK ST JAMES SP3 4UA 8.0 APPENDICES 8.01 H I S T O R Y O F C H R I S D Y S O N A R C H I T E C T S CDA was founded in 2004 by Chris Dyson, a former senior designer at Sir James Stirling and Michael Wilford Associates, and more recently at Sir Terry Farrell and Partners. The practice is based in the historic Spitalfields area of London, where Dyson has lived and worked for 20 years, and where many of the practice’s early projects are located. We have a diverse portfolio of projects across the United Kingdom, from small private commissions to public buildings and urban planning proposals. There are two primary strands to the practice: the first is historic conservation architecture applying skills in intelligent conservation and sensitive building design to projects, and the second is grand architecture concerned with cultural and commercial commissions. We enjoy working on challenging projects of all scales, including many historic listed buildings. We pride ourselves on a high degree of attention to detail and a flair for innovative and modern design. Chris Dyson Architects have been involved with the restoration, repair and conversion of historic buildings for a numbr of years. Harry Whittaker RIBA AABC runs the Bath office operating from the centre of this Unesco world Heritage City. has worked in the field of building conservation for over twenty years and is included on the approved list of Architects for the dioceses of Bath and Wells, Salisbury, Litchfield and Hereford. He has worked with English Heritage, CADW, The National Trust and a number of private and public heritage groups. CDA have been awarded numerous design awards including most recently the Sunday Times Award 2016, RIBA London Regional award winner 2015, The AJ small projects award 2014, the AJ retrofit awards 2014 and finalist in Architect of the Year Awards 2017.

This issue contains the first village flora to be included. Barbara Last has systematically recorded the plants growing in Berwick St James, and her article gives an account of her findings. Hopefully, it will inspire others to do similar work in their own localities. Our second article is the first systematic account we have published on the vegetation of Salisbury Plain. In this case, Kevin Walker and Richard Pywell describe the grassland communities of the MoD Training Area.

His account brings us more or less up to the present day. It is hoped that the next issue will contain what is effectively an up-to-date bramble flora of Wiltshire. As in previous issues, a selection of the Society’s plant records is included.
