Land off Crudwell Lane, Malmesbury Landscape and Visual Appraisal 11593_R01a_4th July 2018_JC_LP Section 1: Executive Summary and Background Executive Summary 1.1. The site to which this application refers, lies within an employment allocation in the adopted Wiltshire Core Strategy. It is also identified as such in the adopted Malmesbury Neighbourhood Plan. The principle of large unit development on this site has therefore been established and as such an appropriate and proportionate landscape and visual assessment has been carried out. In addition, built form of the size and scale proposed is already present in the vicinity and the site itself is in commercial use. It is not a greenfield site. 1.2. This Landscape and Visual Appraisal (LVA) has been undertaken by Tyler Grange LLP to consider the effect of a foodstore development on key landscape and visual resources on land at the Malmesbury Garden Centre in Malmesbury, Wiltshire. 1.3. In his email of 16 April 2018 (refer to Appendix 1), senior landscape officer at Wiltshire Council, Mark Goodwin identified a particular concern regarding potential visual impacts arising from the proposed development on the setting of the Grade I Listed Charlton Mansion within the non-registered Charlton Park. The vista along the tree lined avenue was identified as aligning with the site and therefore giving rise to potential visual effects. However, aerial imagery does not support this alignment with the site (refer to Plan 7: Site Context) and dense intervening vegetation affects intervisibility. The Heritage Assessment (refer to supporting planning application document) concludes that in terms of the NPPF, the development proposals would result in no harm to the significance of any surrounding designated assets, including Listed Buildings. With regard to the unregistered parkland at Charlton Park, the Heritage Assessment states that there would be no impact on this parkland and that the site did not contribute to the historic character or views of the park and in turn the Grade I Listed Charlton Mansion. Planting proposals and specifically boundary treatments on the eastern flank are an improvement to the baseline situation and would assist assimilation of built form through the reinforcement of a soft edge in proximity to Charlton Park. 1.4. In the pre-application response from Wiltshire Council dated 7 February 2017 a number of urban design and visual amenity concerns were raised and these have been considered and addressed either within subsequent design iterations or within supporting technical documents. 1.5. The stand-alone LVA has been undertaken in accordance with Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment 3rd edition (GLVIA3) using a methodology that is based on recognised guidance. The framework for an appraisal of landscape character and visual effects considers the Baseline Appraisal and the Nature of the Change. Refer to table 3.1 in Appendix 2 regarding recommended components of Landscape and Visual Appraisals compared to full Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments for EIA’s and also the Landscape Institute (LI) GLVIA3 clarification 1/13 note in Appendix 3. 1.6. The site itself is located within an allocation (less than 1 Ha of the 4 Ha allocation amounting to approximately 20%) that includes the functioning Malmesbury Garden Centre comprising of a collection of differing building styles of varying quality, storage areas, yards, parking areas and derelict land. In a slightly wider context the site lies on a roundabout at the junction of the A429 and B4014 amidst a much more extensive area of larger scale built-form, agricultural sheds, farm houses and other units with a water tower, BP filling station, shop and garage nearby. The allocation and its context therefore are considered to be of an urban, generic, non-specific character and it is this urbanisation Land off Crudwell Lane, Malmesbury Landscape and Visual Appraisal 11593_R01a_4th July 2018_JC_LP Page 1 that forms the baseline in this case. It is unlike the published landscape character types and areas within which it lies: • the National Character Area 107 Cotswolds; • the Wiltshire Landscape Character Assessment Rolling Clay Lowland Landscape Character Type or Minety Rolling Clay Lowland Landscape Character Area; and • the North Wiltshire Lowland Clay Farmland Landscape Character Type or the Minety and Malmesbury Rolling Lowland Landscape Character Area. 1.7. The combination of the key characteristics in terms of landform and landcover visually contain this allocation with the exception of part of the western aspect. The mature flank of evergreen Leyland cypress trees on the northern boundary provides extensive screening cover to the allocated area all year round and this protects the soft green views to the distant approach of Malmesbury along the A429. In addition, it protects visual amenity from the public footpath (MALW9) close to Charlton Park (non-registered and without public access). The lack of adverse effects is due to a combination of factors namely; • the acceptance of the principle of development of built form of the scale and mass proposed arising from the allocation; • the existing brownfield nature of the allocation; • the urban character and context of the site; • the visual containment already afforded; and • the accompanying landscape and visual mitigation and enhancement measures proposed. 1.8. Visibility has been tested in the field and the limited extent of intervisibility with the wider landscape is demonstrated within this LVA and any mitigating measures are described. The field verified visual envelope is particularly small and is for the most part limited to the site itself and its immediate surroundings with spillage just to the immediate west. Due to the interleaving effects of tree groups, woodland belts and well-treed hedgerows in combination with rolling topography and built form nearby, any mid to long range views are either heavily filtered or obscured from the north, south and east. Views from the west are to some extent filtered and all are short to mid-range where some private views may be afforded from a limited number of dwellings. Occupants at Filands Gate and Filands Farm are located close to the site to the northwest of the roundabout with intervening vegetation that filters views and one other single storey property to the immediate west of the roundabout set behind a tall evergreen screen on the roadside boundary that again provides substantial screening. 1.9. Taking it all into consideration the visual effects are assessed as being no more than neutral when a well-designed landscape scheme is incorporated within the proposed layout. 1.10. Whilst it is beyond the scope of this LVA to consider the significance of and effects upon the setting of heritage assets including views from the Grade I Listed Charlton House, the introduction of a tree belt on the eastern boundary will deliver an enhanced and softened edge that improves

  • The Palladian Way – 2016
    THE PALLADIAN WAY – 2016 The Palladian Way owes the title of ‘architectural trail’ to a style of building design developed by Andre Palladio in 16th Century Italy. This borrowed heavily from classical Roman precedents and was in turn copied and developed by such luminaries as Inigo Jones, Christopher Wren, John Vanburgh and William Kent, each adding their own refinements. At the heart of Palladio’s design for private villas was symmetry. Key features were wide front steps leading up to a large central area behind classical pillars supporting a pediment with a low triangular gable above. Broad house walls gave widespread views from all sides over formal gardens. Overall the size would reflect a cube shape or one governed by a mathematical formula where the width and height could be divided exactly by 6. To this could be added circular staircases, imposing estate rooms and a dome or cupola such as that later to top Wren’s St Paul’s. So a key feature of the walk was to see how far this Palladian style still graced the large buildings on the route, just as those buildings largely dictated the key destinations on the way. Stage 1 – Buckingham to Woodstock - Wednesday – Friday 23 – 25 February 2016 Penny, Hazel, Chas, David It’s late February; picture blue skies, a light breeze and almost wall to wall sunshine. You’d be imagining somewhere far away from England. Throw in deep overnight frost with several degrees minus and you might start to wonder. But Bucks, Northants and Oxon would probably still not spring to mind.

  • 7.2 COTSWOLD DISTRICT COUNCIL AREA Rationale for Proposed
    7.2 COTSWOLD DISTRICT COUNCIL AREA Number of Proposed Divisions: 8 Total Electorate for District in 2010: 68,324 Forecast Electorate for District in 2016: 71,392 Forecast District Average Number of Electors per 8,924 Councillor in 2016: Forecast County Average Number of Electors per 9,220 Councillor in 2016: % Co-terminosity with District Wards 75% Rationale for Proposed Divisions The Cotswold district area is largely rural mainly comprising rural parishes, small market towns and the large historic town of Cirencester. The proposed divisions are formed around established market towns which have strong local community identity. By using existing district wards as the building bricks, it has been possible to achieve 75% coterminosity with district wards. The largest town of Cirencester requires two divisions. The existing division is currently represented by two councillors. The proposed two new divisions (divisions CO 4 and CO 5) are formed by using existing district wards to create an East and West split. The East division also includes some rural areas which are linked along the major A419 road. The centre of the Cotswold District area is the most sparsely populated area of Gloucestershire. A geographically large division CO 3 is necessary here. The largest settlement is Northleach. Two major routes traverse the area, the old Cirencester Road A435 and the A40 London Road. Both along and between these on the “top of the Cotswolds” are many small rural communities but no major settlements. Other divisions are largely dictated by the shape of the county. Starting in the southwest, a division has been created around the market town of Tetbury and the area to the east towards Cirencester.
