It is located within the New River Conservation Area, within the London Borough of Islington (LBI). It is a five storey (including basement) Georgian terrace house dating to 1821-1828. The property was subdivided in the 1970s and Mr and Mrs Brentan’s flat comprises three floors (first to third floor). The ground floor and basement accommodates a separate flat which is under the ownership of the London Borough of Islington (LBI). 1.3 A pre-application request was submitted by Pierre Mare Architects to LBI for the following: 1 an extension to an existing rear water closet (increasing height from 2 to 2.5 storeys); 2 internal alterations including installing a wood burner stove and fitted cupboards to first floor; 3 alteration of plan form at second floor; 4 and removal of existing kitchen ceiling at third floor 1.4 A pre-application meeting was held on 22 April 2015. The subsequent written officer response (15 May 2015, included at Appendix 2) indicated that all elements of the proposal were considered to be unacceptable in terms of impact on the listed building. In addition, the acceptability of the extension in terms of loss of daylight/sunlight to No. 22 appears to be questioned. 1.5 This Statement establishes the significance of 21 Claremont Square including the consistency of the rear elevations, visibility of the rear elevations and the integrity of the interior rooms. It also provides the planning policy context against which the acceptability of proposed alterations to the property is assessed. 9617273v1 P1 21 Claremont Square : Planning and Heritage Impact Assessment 2.0 Summary of Pre-App 2.1 A summary of the pre-application written advice (15 May 2015) has been provided below. External Alterations 1 Rear extension is unacceptable. It is not in accordance with Islington Urban Design Guide (IUDG) or Conservation Area Design Guidelines (CADG) advice and is harmful to the generally consistent height of the rear projections (with exception of taller element to rear of No. 18 which sits at end of terrace, but does not interrupt the consistent rhythm. This does not appear to have consent and should not be used as justification). 2 The design of the rear extension is inappropriate. If an increase in height was acceptable, which it is not, then a more traditional approach in keeping with the character and materials of the building would be more appropriate. 3 Window replacements - The replacement of whole sashes and glass is unlikely to be considered acceptable unless it can be demonstrated that the existing is not historic or beyond repair and that the replacement glass will not alter the appearance of the glazing. Internal Alterations 4 First Floor – a woodburner is unacceptable. An appropriate fireplace should be installed. 5 First Floor – the built in cupboards should not be installed over the chimney breast as this is harmful to the historic plan form of the room. Fitted furniture should not be full height, leaving a punctuating gap between the top of the furniture and the ceiling. 6 Second Floor – relocation of spine wall and doorway is unacceptable as it is harmful to the original plan form (partition either original or modern but in location of original). 7 Third Floor - The proposed removal of the ceiling to kitchen at third floor level is considered unacceptable in principle as this will result in an inappropriate floor ceiling height at this level and therefore is harmful to the historic proportions of the house. 8 Repair work to plaster must be carried out on a like-for-like basis with lime plaster. Amenity 9 Impact on upper ground floor windows of 22 Claremont Square – if the proposals are considered to be overbearing, reduce outlook or cause loss of light then the application may be refused. The BRE Guidelines should be used. P2 9617273v1 21 Claremont Square : Planning and Heritage Impact Assessment 3.0 Statutory and Policy Context 3.1 The following provides a review of legislation and national, regional and local planning policy relevant to the development. The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 3.2 The Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 provides specific protection for buildings and areas that are of special architectural or historic interest over and above the protection provided through the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. 3.3 Section 66(1) requires development affecting a listed building or its setting to have special regard to the preservation of the building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses. 3.4 Section 72 of the Act states that with respect to any buildings or land in a Conservation Area, special attention should be paid to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of Conservation Areas. National Planning Policy (NPPF) 3.5 At the heart of the NPPF (2012) is a presumption in favour of sustainable development, which includes contributing to protecting our natural, built and historic environment and conserving heritage assets in a manner appropriate to their significance. 3.6 Paragraph 14 of the NPPF states that where a development plan is absent, silent or relevant policies are out of date, the policies of the NPPF take precedence. Permission should not be granted if any adverse impacts would significantly or demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the NPPF. 3.7 According to paragraph 128, when determining applications local planning authorities should require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected, including any contribution made by their setting. The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal of their significance. 3.8 Under paragraph 131, local planning authorities are required to take account of the desirability of new development making a positive contribution to local character and distinctiveness. In addition, when considering the impact of a proposed development on the significance of a designated heritage asset, great weight should be given to the asset’s conservation. The more important the asset, the greater the weight should be (paragraph 132). 9617273v1 P3 21 Claremont Square : Planning and Heritage Impact Assessment 3.9 Proposed developments which cause substantial harm or total loss of significance of a designated heritage asset should be refused unless substantial public benefits resulting from

The school building and the attached former Caretaker’s House are Listed Grade II (see attached ‘list’ description – appendix A). Clerkenwell Parochial is one of the oldest extant school houses in London. If the school is to continue to run effectively and successfully, it must update itself and its surroundings, but without detracting from its charm, identity or historic character. History Clerkenwell Parochial School moved to its present site in 1828 for the education of the children in the New River Company and Lloyd Baker estates, then still under construction. The new school building, in a Tudor style and St. Mark's church, in a plain Gothic style, both by William Chadwell Mylne, the New River Company's architect, were precursors of the more vigorously eclectic revivalist styles, which were to become fashionable by the middle of the century. The Listing The school was ’Listed' in September 1972, as a ‘building of special architectural or historical interest' under Section 54 of Chapter 78 the Town and Country Planning Act 1971. The listing is at Grade II. There are now nearly 4000 Listed Buildings in Islington, of which all but a handful are Grade II, but many regard this as one of the most important because of its early date, because of its significance in the development of the historic Clerkenwell estates and because it is an unusually well-preserved pre-School Board school, retaining intact most of its original features and early adaptations - one of the few surviving in London.

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Obituary. Charles Greaves, 1816-1883
    CHARLESGREAVES. 355 OBITUL4RYNOTICES. CHARLES GREAVES was born at Amwell, in Hertfordshire, on the 19th of October, 1816. He wasthe eldest son of Charles Greaves,formerly of St.Paul’s Churchyard, London, and Char- lotteMylne, daughter of RobertMylne theeminent architect, who designed old Blackfriars Bridge, and for nearly fifty years held the post of architect and surveyor to St. Paul’s Cathedral, aswell as being Resident Engineer to the NewRiver Water- works for the same period. Nr. Greaves’s early years were spent on Dartmoor, thence he went to the school of the well-known Dr. Mapat Cheam, in 1824.Remaining there for about two years, he returned to his family, who had removed to Devonport, andthere he entered the Classical andMathematical School, that llad recently come under the rule of his father’s cousin, the Rev. Henry Addington Greaves. Ilis career at school was not markedby any specialbrilliancy, butrather by steady perse- verance and unflagging industry. When only thirteen years of age, young Greaves’s father died very suddenly, and the boy, the eldest of a family of six children, at once grasped the idea that hisfirst duty was to be a stay andcomfort to his widowed mother, andfor upwards of thirty years,notwithstanding the cares and anxieties of a busy, active life, he was unremitting in hisattention and considerationfor her. He wasarticled to Mr. J. M. Rendel, Past-President Inst. C.E., at Plymouth, on the 2nd of September, 1831. Thelate Mr. Nathaniel Beardmore, M. Inst. C.E., and Sir John Coode, M. Inst. C.E., who had been schoolfellows with Greaves,were also fellow-pupils with him.

  • Heritage Report
    1 Heritage Report Flat 28, 43-53 Myddelton Square, EC1R 1YD Replacement of windows and door on rear elevation with matching windows 4D Planning, 86-90 Paul Street, 3rd Floor, London EC2A 4NE 2 Listed Buildings 43-53 Myddelton Square, EC1R 1YD is part of a terraced block consisting residential dwellings. The terrace, 31-57 Myddleton Square, is Grade II listed. The property was first listed in 29-Dec-1950. The listing refers to a terrace of 27 houses, some now flats, along the east and north sides of Myddelton Square, laid out 1824-1827 by William Chadwell Mylne, Surveyor to the New River Estate. Nos. 43-53 were rebuilt by the New River Company in 1947-48 following war damage. Nos. 31-57 Myddleton Square, a terrace of 1824-7, with Nos. 43-53 rebuilt after the Second World War, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Architectural interest: a well-proportioned terrace forming the north and north-east sides of Myddleton Square, possessing fine stucco and cast-iron details; * Historic Interest: a cohesive architectural language secured by the development of the Square by the New River Company, founded in 1622 by Sir Hugh Myddleton; * Alteration: Nos. 43-53 were rebuilt in the same idiom by the New River Company in 1947-48 following war damage, an early example of post-war conservation-inspired reconstruction which maintains the architectural cohesion of the group and contributes further to its historic interest; * Group Value: the terrace has a high degree of group value with the other terraces of the Square and with the Church of St Mark at its centre, all listed at Grade II, with which it forms an ensemble.
