In addition to its completed Lansdown Ridge Development and Crownhill schemes, Charlcombe Homes is currently building its Oakdene development of five detached houses and has planning consent for a further five house on its Longview site. In addition, the former MOD Ensleigh South has recently received consent for 39 dwellings (13/00734/FUL). The main MOD Ensleigh North site has been sold to Linden Homes and Bloor Homes for an exciting development of approximately 250 houses. More information can be found at this website: http://www.ensleighhomes.co.uk An initial phase of development will be served off of Granville Road, with the main part of the site accessed from Lansdown Road.

Plot 1 This house differs from the others on this site in having only two storeys and with four, rather than five, bedrooms. It nevertheless boasts an equally contemporary design and layout, the flowing open plan main living area and large deck making the best use of the panoramic outlook. The entrance is on the upper floor, approached through electrically operated hardwood gates into the enclosed courtyard space allowing parking as well as access to the generous double garage (fitted with extra wide electrically operated doors). The hardwood boarded front door opens into a hall with open stairwell down to the bedroom level, past the cloakroom and coats cupboard is the large utility room with a door into the garage, as well as a back door to the garden. The hallway also leads through to the cosy sitting room or snug, which could be used as a family room or nursery for a younger family. The main feature is, however, straight through past the stair, where as soon as the door is opened, the uninterrupted view opens up through the living/dining/kitchen space and beyond the deck. This space is actually larger in area than most of our three storey houses, and is slightly different in that the “U” shape allows a degree of visual separation to the cooking part of the kitchen, which also has a separate door to the hall. The main orientation is to the east, but the living area benefits from south facing glazing as well as the high level windows for evening sun, and there is a fuel efficient jetmaster fire with stone surround to act as focal point. The lower floor is given over to all four bedrooms and a study (which could be considered a fifth bedroom of course). The master suite is generous with separate dressing area, bath, shower, and double basins in the en-suite, and of course the views out through the east facing windows, the orientation also providing morning sun. The guest bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, and the family bathroom is provided with both bath and separate shower. All of these bedrooms face east, thus also being ideally orientated forPlot 1,both morning sun and views.

  • English Heritage Battlefield Report: Lansdown 1643
    English Heritage Battlefield Report: Lansdown 1643 Lansdown Hill (5 July 1643) Parish: Cold Ashton, Doynton, Bitton, Charlcombe, North Stoke Districts: Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire County: Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire Grid Ref:ST 723712 Historical Context In the early summer of 1643 the Royalist position in England gave rise to a certain optimism. Parliamentarian morale had been dented by a series of Royalist successes which included Adwalton Moor, Hopton Heath, Ripple Field, Stratton and Chalgrove. Moreover, Oxford was still reasonably secure. In the West, however, Parliamentarian garrisons continued to hold out in Devon, while Gloucester, Bristol and Bath were firmly controlled by Parliament. Sir William Waller, as Major General of the Western Association Forces, commanded Parliament's not inconsiderable military resources in Shropshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Somerset. If there was to be a chance of Sir Ralph Hopton's Royalist army marching east to join the King's Oxford army in a combined advance on London, Parliament's position in the West must first be destroyed. Hopton's victory at Stratton in May 1643 and his subsequent progress through Devon encouraged the King to send him additional troops under Prince Maurice and the Marquis of Hertford. At Chard on 4 June Hopton's reinforced army totalled some 4,000 foot, 2,000 horse and 300 dragoons, together with 16 pieces of artillery. An ingenious command system was now evolved to encompass the dignity, rank and military skills of Maurice, Hertford and Hopton. While Hertford commanded in name, Hopton commanded in the field and Maurice devoted his attention to the Horse.

  • Ensleigh, Bath
    Appendix 1: Ensleigh, Bath Location 1.1 The potential development site at Ensleigh is situated to the north of Bath city centre on the Lansdown plateau (see Figure A1.1). The site is adjacent to the former MOD site at Ensleigh and northeast of Lansdown Road. Figure A1.1: Ensleigh Proposed Development Site Location Plan Planning Context 1.2 The site comprises the Royal High School playing field, a flat, rectilinear sports field of approximately 4.1 hectares. The Core Strategy consultation document identifies the site for residential-led mixed use development of around 120 dwellings in the plan period, although the housing figure given relates to a larger site which includes the adjacent field to the west. This study considers the Royal High School playing field only. 1.3 To the east and south of the field lies the MoD Ensleigh site which began decommissioning in September 2012. To the west and north lie further school sports pitches. 1.4 The surrounding area is predominantly open countryside, with areas of woodland and dense vegetation on the hillside to the northeast, and small clusters of farm and residential buildings. Lansdown cemetery and Beckford’s Tower, a Grade I listed structure and local landmark, are situated on the other side of Lansdown Road, to the southwest of the site. 1.5 Photographs A1.1 and A1.2 show views across the site from the northeast, looking southwest. Beckford’s Tower can be seen above the trees in the centre of the frame with the low-rise buildings of the former MOD site to the left.

  • THE BATH REGION from Late Prehistory to the Middle Ages Mick
    THE BATH REGION from Late Prehistory to the Middle Ages Mick Aston Introduction This essay is concerned with a city in its region over a long period. Bath is a good example to study, for two reasons. Firstly, the city itself and the region around have been well examined by anti­ quarians over several centuries - very many sites have been located from late prehistoric to medieval times. Much of the early landscape also remains in the form of earthworks and abandoned field systems. Secondly, Bath itself has been occupied for a long, but reasonably certain· length of time. Unlike most towns and cities, something is known of the origins of the place and how and why it developed. Its close relationship with its hinterland over two millennia has, however, not been studied and that is the aim of this essay. The Physical Background Bath lies at the southern end of the Cotswolds, on the river Avon and 30km inland from the Severn estuary. The surrounding region is very 'unEnglish' in terms of its scenery. The city lies in a deep valley with steep slopes all around, rising to almost level flat-topped plateaux at Lansdown (to the north-west), Charmy Down (to the north-east), Bathampton, Claverton and Combe Downs (to the east and south-east), and Odd Down and Southdown (to the south and south-west). There is little flat land in the stream and river valleys in the Bath region, except at Bath itself and around Bathford and Bathampton. The sides of the valleys are steep, with deep combes everywhere.
