CAAG 19 01 2012 Reports Agenda Item No. THE VALE OF GLAMORGAN COUNCIL VALE OF GLAMORGAN CONSERVATION AREA ADVISORY GROUP : 19 JANUARY 2012 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC REGENERATION 2011/01257/FUL Received on 13 December 2011 Mrs. Elizabeth Renwick,, Ty Mawr, Llanbethery, Barry, Vale of Glamorgan., CF62 3AN Nick Renwick Architect,, Ty Cattwg, Llancarfan, Barry, Vale of Glamorgan., CF62 3AL Ty Mawr, Llanbethery, Barry Construction of new house The development/property is situated within the Llanbethery Conservation Area. The application will be advertised. Site and Context The site is located on the main road through the hamlet of Llanbethery, and between Whitwell House to the west and the garden of Ty Mawr to the east. Ty Mawr is a locally listed County Treasure, having an enclosed garden and coursed stone stable block, and occupying a central position in the hamlet. The site is 0.03 hectares in size and is described in the forms as a ‘redundant vegetable garden’, this being enclosed to side and rear by traditional high stone boundary walling, with a lower stone wall to the frontage and Leylandii trees to the boundary with Whitwell House. The overall character of the Llanbethery Conservation Area is defined in the Conservation Area Appraisal, as “mainly white painted historic buildings which sit close to the road, and the rest of the buildings which provide attractive front gardens with stone walling, trees and hedging. The rural qualities of the hamlet are reinforced by the grass verges, informal street surfaces (no pavements) and close proximity of the surrounding countryside”. Llanbethery is also located within the Lower Thaw Valley Special Landscape Area. CAAG.1 Description of Development The proposal entails the construction of a single detached dwelling of painted render and slate with timber windows / doors. The dwelling would be sited approximately 5.8 metres from the road, close to its eastern boundary and be 8m wide by 9.2m deep, and to an overall ridge height of 8m. The rear wall of the dwelling would be constructed on the line of the existing traditional boundary enclosure – which would be rebuilt on the same line as existing and tied to the new dwelling’s wall, albeit punctured by proposed fenestration - with a new garden area created to the rear, enclosed by a masonry wall. A 3.3 metres gap would be made in the existing stone boundary wall to access a new parking area to the front and side of the dwelling. Relevant Planning History The site itself has no relevant planning history, although the adjacent dwelling (Whitwell House) previously formed part of the grounds of Ty Mawr and was approved by the following consent(s): - 1988/01400/FUL : Plot adjacent Ty Mawr, Llanbethery. -Detached house with detached garage. Approved 28 February 1989. 1988/00371/OUT : Garden of Ty Mawr, Llanbethery. New dwellinghouse. Approved 1 June 1988. The Issues The site is located within the residential settlement boundary for Llanbethery and within the boundaries of the Llanbethery Conservation Area. In addition the adjoining dwelling Ty Mawr is a locally-listed County Treasure. As such the following policies are relevant : Policies ENV17 - Protection of Built and Historic Environment; ENV20 - Development in Conservation Areas; ENV21- Demolition in Conservation Areas; ENV27 - Design of New Developments; HOUS2 & HOUS8 - Residential Development Criteria of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Unitary Development Plan 1996-2011; and national guidance contained in Planning Policy Wales and TAN12 - Design. The principal issues relate to the impact on the character and setting of this part of the Llanbethery Conservation Area. In considering such impact, it is of note that the Llanbethery Conservation Area Appraisal identifies the site as ‘overgrown garden next to Ty Mawr’, and considered it to comprise an area which detracts from the special character of the area, and which offers potential for beneficial change. The appraisal also stated that “the restoration of this space to a cultivated garden would be very welcome” and included a recommendation that “the Council will encourage the repair and restoration of the garden”. It is noted, however, that the area has since been cleared, albeit remaining open / vacant. CAAG.2 CAAG.3 CAAG.4 Agenda Item No. THE VALE OF GLAMORGAN COUNCIL VALE OF GLAMORGAN CONSERVATION AREA ADVISORY GROUP : 19 JANUARY 2012 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC REGENERATION 2011/01227/FUL Received on 6 December 2011 Mr. David Williams,, Llancadle Farm, Llancadle, Barry, Vale of Glamorgan., CF62 3AQ Peter Jenkins Architects,, Nutgrove, City, Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan., CF71 7RW Llancadle Farm, Llancadle, Barry Demolition of three Dutch barns together with a stable block and the conversion of detached farm outbuildings to four domestic dwellings. The development/property is situated within the Llancadle Conservation Area. The application was advertised on 5 January 2012. Site and Context The application site is Llancadle Farm, Llancadle, which is located at the western end of the village, approximately 85m back from the main road. The site is accessed directly from the adopted highway that runs in a loop from the main road, serving a number of other dwellings. The site comprises part of the exiting farmyard and measures approximately 70m wide x 55m deep. It contains three stone barns, two Dutch barns and a set of stables. The site is adjoined to the north, east and west by fields and to the south by other land in the applicants’ ownership (namely the farmhouse and remainder of the farm yard). The applicants’ land immediately adjoins a small group of dwellings that lie at the entrance to the village, between the site and the main road. Description of Development The application proposes the conversion of the stone barns to 4 No. dwellings and the demolition of the Dutch barns and stables. CAAG.5 The first dwelling would be created within part the two-storey linear barn located towards the western part of the site. The conversion involves utilising existing openings in the inward facing and gable end elevations, with five roof lights, three new doorway openings and a window in the outward facing south west elevation. Accommodation comprises a garage, living room, kitchen, dining room and study at ground floor with four bedrooms and three bathrooms at first floor. An area of private amenity space would be provided to the west of the building, enclosed by a new line of hedgerow. Unit 2 would be formed in the remainder of the two-storey barn and part of the adjacent single storey L-shaped barn, with accommodation comprising a lounge/dining area, kitchen, study and bedroom at ground floor, with three further bedrooms with en-suites at first floor. In terms of external alterations, the conversion would utilise the exiting openings in the two storey barn (save for two new roof lights) and exiting openings in the front elevation of the single storey element. Two new doorway openings are proposed in the rear of the single storey section. Parking for this unit would be contained in the fore court to the front and an area of amenity space would be provided to the rear, adjoining that serving Unit 1. Unit three would be created within the remainder of the single storey L-shaped barn, with accommodation comprising a living room, kitchen, dining room, four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Existing openings would be utilised in the two inward facing courtyard elevations and the rear and end elevations. Four new roof lights are proposed. Parking would be accommodated with a new car port to be constructed on the north east facing elevation, with further parking on a hard standing to the front. The area of amenity space would be contained within the courtyard to the front of the barn (‘within the L’). The fourth unit would be contained within the two-storey stone barn located closest to the entrance to the site and would comprise a living room, dining room and kitchen at ground floor, with three bedrooms and a bathroom at first floor. Existing openings would be utilised on the south east elevation and the two gable ends, however, the kitchen and utility room would be formed within a new extension on the north east elevation measuring 3.5m x 7.5m, with a lean to roof that adjoins the main roof plane of the barn. New openings are also proposed in this elevation at ground and first floor. Amenity space would be contained within a walled garden to the north of the barn (adjoining the amenity space for Unit 3) and parking would be on a hardstanding to the east of the barn. The application also involves the demolition of the two Dutch barns to the north of barn 4 and the stables adjoining it. The application is accompanied by a structural survey and bat survey. Relevant Planning History The application is accompanied by an application for Conservation Area Consent for the demolition of the Dutch barns and stable block ((2011/01228/CAC). CAAG.6 The following applications have previously been made on the land: 1994/00492/TCA : Llancadle Farm House, Llancadle. Remove limbs from Horsechestnut. Approved. 1988/01265/FUL : Land adjacent to Lower Llancadle Farmhouse. New detached dwelling. Approved. The Issues The site is located within the Conservation Area boundary of Llancadle and accordingly, the following policies of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Unitary Development Plan 1996-2011 are primarily relevant to the application: ENV 8- SMALL SCALE RURAL CONVERSIONS ENV17 - PROTECTION OF BUILT AND HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT ENV20 - DEVELOPMENT IN CONSERVATION AREAS ENV27 - DESIGN OF NEW DEVELOPMENTS It is considered that the main issues involved in the assessment of the application are: Whether the proposed conversions, including the new openings and extensions, are sensitive to the character of the barns.

FILLING THE GAPS: THE IRON AGE IN CARDIFF AND THE VALE OF GLAMORGAN Abstract Over the last 20 years interpretive approaches within Iron Age studies in Britain have moved from the national to the regional. This was an important development which challenged the notion that a unified, British, Iron Age ever existed. However, whilst this approach has allowed regional histories to be told in their own right there has been far too much focus on ‘key’ areas such as Wessex and Yorkshire.

  • Plymouth House West Dimlands Road, Llantwit Major, Cardiff
    Plymouth House West Dimlands Road, Llantwit Major, Cardiff. CF61 1SJ Plymouth House West Dimlands Road, Llantwit Major, Cardiff. CF61 1SJ This outstanding, three storey house is set in the heart of the beautiful Medieval town with its own railway station, excellent schools and amenities and within walking distance of the beach. Cardiff is just 10 miles away with its major travel links by road, air and rail. This half of a historic house of significance has parts which date back to the 1300s, and has a unique mix of Georgian and Medieval sections all restored to the highest of standards retaining an abundance of its original features. The house is built on exposed bedrock forming the private driveway and terraces around the house. There is a stunning central walled courtyard and set above is an extensive mature and well stocked garden with a unique stone bridge linking the garden to the guest suite, giving the guest suite its own external access. Plymouth House has a fascinating history. Once home to the Earl of Plymouth, this former manor has medieval roots, its listing referring to the West wing as 15th Century but an old stone mullion window within the house, discovered during the recent restoration of the property has been dated at around 1300. The property features in The Greater Houses of Glamorgan and The Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments in Wales. The house has two distinct atmospheres. The front of the property is Georgian with a drawing room of grand proportions and the rear section, which includes the former dairy, has a more intimate atmosphere, with oak beams and flagstone floors.

  • Archive News97
    THE LLANCARFAN SOCIETY Newsletter 97 April 2000 Editorial The last two 1st World War articles, on Gwilym Lougher and the two Evans’ brothers have both produced several letters and e-mails from readers and other correspondents. It is gratifying and exciting to receive corrections and additions to the historical information in the Newsletters. Everyone’s work becomes worthwhile when this sort of thing happens. Further facts have surfaced, not only from readers but also from the editor’s files of material, which have accumulated during the past 13 years. As I wrote additional notes on Owen Evans, I realised that his army number (1025) answered part of the rhetorical question, which I asked about Llancarfan lads who joined the army together, at the beginning of the War (Newsletter 90). The 1914-18 article, below, is entirely devoted to these corrections, additions and musings. Information please: Phil Watts founded The Llancarfan Society in 1987, following a public appeal. For the sake of a complete record in Llancarfan, a Vale Village, the Editor is trying to reconstruct the list of founder members who attended the very first meeting in the Fox and Hounds. I recollect clearly that we sat in the top bar, close to the fireplace. Phil Watts as the moving force was certainly there, I think with Ruth, and in her rôle of mine-hostess, so was the much-missed Joyce Andrews. Gwynne Liscombe was another and I also recollect Peter Tickner from Dan-yr-Llwyfen. Derek Higgs is in my memory but after this, recollection grows hazy. Were you there? Please let me know if I have missed you, or if anyone is incorrectly included in the above list.
