My views remain the same as those expressed in my response made to you on 12 February 2020.

It is shown on the OS maps with a different (smaller) extension to the east than exists today. The current rear extension was built after 1910 in 2 traditional solid-wall construction, so most likely in the first half of C20. There is a ‘shelf’ of protruding stones to the left part on the roadside (original) elevation; their function is unclear, and the Streetview photos do not show a blocked opening underneath. It looks like the masonry has been repointed in recent years – this may have covered up some evidence also. There is a blocked up opening on the roadside towards the centre of the elevation that could possibly have been an ‘entrance’, although it is very unlikely that the road level would have as low as the GF level of the barn. The existing opening on this elevation was a forking hole which was later inserted (jamb stones don’t relate to coursing of masonry). The north east elevation has a larger FF taking-in door which looks original (no obvious disturbance in the masonry). Internally on the south (former external) wall of the original barn there were two openings making it a Type C barn – one door would have lead to the shippon, the other to the hay mew. The current extension was built to increase the size of the shippon. Proposals • Rooflights - the current number and layout of the rooflights would have a negative visual impact on the barn. The rooflight above proposed bedroom 3 is not justified because of the light provided by the taking-in door. The rooflight above the proposed stair would be harmful in particular as it would be highly visible from the road; the staircase does not require natural daylight. The third rooflight above the extension is also not justified as the room has 3 windows; moreover, the door can also be used as a source for daylight. • Enlarge southeast [west on drawing is incorrect] windows – the plans show two windows enlarged on this elevation. This would have an unnecessary harmful impact on the heritage significance of the barn, as the agricultural openings would be changed to domestic-proportion windows. Repairs/ replacements should match the existing windows. • Partially reinstating blocked opening with a half window - this would harm the readability of the barn as the blocked opening is already ‘incomplete’, and the proposed works would fragment it more, so it would become very unreadable. If they want to make use of it, they need to unblock the whole thing and employ an opaque panel to the top (like on gable elevation, but the other way round) • Inserting new GF window to north east gable – The would have a negative impact on the heritage significance as it confuses how the barn was used. The double-storey mews would only have an intake hole on the FF. • Altering ground level to north east – this would have a negative impact because the barn built into the hillside is a key feature to how the barn functioned. The slope would have provided a practical level to fork hay, clear waste etc. • Inserting door to north east elevation of extension – this is not justified as there is already an opening to the extension. The loss of masonry and introduction of a new feature would be harmful to the significance of the barn. • Insertion of flue to rear – acceptable • Creation of new boundary walling – this has a very negative impact on the heritage significance of the barn as it takes the field barn element away; the new enclosure should therefore be a lightweight fence, and it is also recommended to reduce the area; there doesn’t need to be a fence next to any barn walls if it is not a usable space in between. • New driveway - this could also be reduced in size Kind regards, Aidan 3 Gail Dent From: Johnston, Janice <[email protected]> Sent: 18 August 2020 15:54 To: Planning Subject: Consultation response < This e-mail was classified as: OFFICIAL > Proposal: Full planning permission for conversion of barn to form 1 No. three bedroom local occupancy dwelling/holiday let Address: Barn at Ing Laithe, Braidley Planning Reference R/66/93A Service Request Reference 20/01336/PLANYD Memorandum in reply from: Environmental Health Services With regard to the above application, I consider it unlikely that there will be an adverse impact from nuisance on the amenity of the area. The applicant has not provided any information on the previous potentially contaminative uses of the barn and surrounding area for agricultural purposes. The barn is located in an area with a maximum radon potential of greater than 30%. The applicant has stated that the barn is provided with a water supply, which it is assumed will be from a private source, given the location of the buildings. The applicant will have to have the supply risk assessed by Richmondshire District Council Environmental Health due to the proposed use as holiday accommodation. Recommendations I recommend that the following conditions be attached to any approval: 1 No development shall be commenced until an assessment of the risks posed by contamination, carried out in line with the Environment Agency’s Land Contamination: Risk Management (LCRM), has been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority. If deemed necessary a scheme for the remediation of any contamination shall be submitted and approved by the local planning authority before any development occurs. The development shall not be occupied until the approved remediation scheme has been implemented and a verification report detailing all works carried out has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. 2 If contamination is found or suspected at any time during development that was not previously identified all works shall cease and the local planning authority shall be notified in writing immediately. No further works (other than approved remediation measures) shall be undertaken or the development occupied until an investigation and risk assessment carried out in accordance with the Environment Agency’s Land Contamination: Risk Management (LCRM), has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Where remediation is necessary a scheme for the remediation of any contamination shall be submitted and approved by the LPA before any further development occurs. The development shall not be occupied until the approved remediation scheme has been implemented and a verification report detailing all works carried out has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Informative The Private Water Supplies (England) Regulations 2016 (as amended) categorise any private water supply used for a commercial enterprise (such as holiday accommodation, bed and 1 breakfast, food production etc.) as a Regulation 9 supply. This Regulation requires the water supply to be risk assessed and monitored on an annual basis. Failure to do so may lead to service of a Notice restricting the use of the supply. If your property falls within this category and it has not already been assessed/monitored, you must contact Richmondshire District Council Environmental Health for further advice.
