This Village Design Statement (VDS) has been prepared by Moulton Parish Council who have coordinated the input from various village organisations, including the Moulton Environment Group and the Moulton History Society.

The Parish Council believes that this VDS, which includes historical and social background to the village, will be a useful guide for residents and professional developers and their agents in producing any proposals for development within the Parish of Moulton. It highlights the positive features of this large and important Northamptonshire village and the precious local  countryside that surrounds it. It includes a set of Front cover [left to right]: Moulton Village Sign, specific planning guidelines which, if followed, Church Hill, will help to preserve and strengthen the much Moulton College West Street, loved village community which is Moulton. Moulton Parish Church.

View 1). Other views are via Boughton Road and Pitsford Road towards and out of the village to rolling countryside (see Map 3 Views 2, 3 and 8). 3.7 There are a number of notable built features within the landscape to the south east of the parish. A castellated arch adjacent to Spectacle Lane, built by the Earl of Strafford, named ‘The Spectacle’ was constructed in the 18th century as a folly. A similar castellated arch forms the entrance to nearby Holly Lodge. The arch stands on the parish boundary between Boughton and Moulton. It is part of the 18th century landscape of Boughton Park, which includes a set of gothic buildings within the park and the wider landscape setting. The physical and visual interconnection of these features is an important part of the character of the park. 3.9: Public Gardens, Church Street 3.8 There is an important stream valley (Pages Brook Valley) within the village boundaries (see Map 3 PBV), which rises 3.11 There is a mixed wooded site in Kettering Road at the in the high ground to the east of the parish. It passes village boundary, which is visible from southern areas through Marsh Spinney, then through the Pocket Park, of the village such as Northampton Lane. This also Busby’s Meadow (see Map 3) running in an east to west affords an important visual and physical ‘barrier’ direction. It crosses Spectacle Lane where it is forded and between town and village areas. where there is also a pedestrian bridge. This stream valley contributes to the rolling nature of the surrounding countryside and provides a special wildlife environment.

3.9: Moulton Cemetery, The Grove

3.7: Spectacle Lane moulton . northamptonshire | village design statement 07 Also on the village boundary is a linear wooded area of mainly conifer trees i.e. ‘shelter belt’ which is situated along the Pitsford Road between the entry to Spectacle Lane towards the right turn into the village. This offers wooded views on entering the village from Pitsford and this area is visible right across the stream valley from Boughton Road. The parish boundary extends to the southern edge of Pitsford Reservoir encompassing Moulton Grange. This includes the wooded area on the edge of the reservoir near Moulton Grange. 3.12 There are many clearly marked and well used Public Rights of Way and Permissive Footpaths radiating out from the village and parish boundary, giving routes to the surrounding villages of Pitsford (including the reservoir), Boughton, Holcot, Overstone and towards Northampton. These paths, especially those towards Pitsford and Holcot, afford lovely open 4.3: High, dry stone retaining walls at junction of Church Street and Chater Street views of the surrounding open and rolling countryside, pasture, changing arable crops, hedgerows, trees and wooded areas. 4.2 Outside the Conservation Areas are 20th century developments, notably Manor Road, Fuller Road, Oakley Drive, Tarrant Way, Ashley Lane, Overstone 4.

There are also two small sub-spaces off West Street created by the position of the Moulton College buildings. 4.5 The Conservation Area boundary contains within it considerable amounts of open space, some of which surrounds the built form of the village.

5.1 Moulton, in common with many villages, has developed visually in a haphazard manner particularly in the latter part of the last century. Many mistakes were made with the built environment with the ad hoc mix of inappropriate design decisions and often inappropriate materials. Some houses of particular and historic interest were removed to allow road widening and newer development.

B5. The sense of enclosure forms one of the most important characteristics of Moulton. Any new building or extension including garages and converted outbuildings must relate to both its setting and to the street scene. It must be clearly demonstrated that it has not been considered in isolation.

B6. Any redevelopment of incongruous buildings must replace them with buildings designed to fit in with the surrounding traditional buildings. Commercial premises must fit in with the street scene and blend in with the surrounding developments both in size and impact. Dominating advertising should be discouraged. Signage must be low key and not garish in impact.

12 village design statement | moulton . northamptonshire 5.13 Street Scene 5.14 Scale and Density A characteristic of older village buildings is the variation of spaces around them. Where new detached executive homes have a space allocated to them they exist in visual isolation from the fabric of the village. The importance of the space and flow around buildings and how they relate to one another both in scale and density is paramount.

5.13: 1960’s style building set back to the building line

During the post second world war period the centre of the village suffered from the demolition of many older properties deemed unfit or because of ill conceived planning requirements for future road widening. This resulted in some 60’s style buildings being set back from the road in an incongruous manner. These are areas where the special character of the village has been lost. Examples of these are the flats in the high street 5.14: Fine masonry and appropriate windows but false facades and the central garage in particular. In newer may create lifeless anomalies. Note the lack of a door handle developments the street line was rigorously followed with the accompanying loss of spatial interest and 5.15 Repetitive Design movement. Open plan development such as Tarrant Way should be discouraged. There are a number of Repetitive design has been a feature of many villages commercial activities within Moulton and a number of over recent decades. Local authority housing schemes shops. This is part of the traditional structure of any such as The Grove and Carey Close are examples and village life. private housing such as Tarrant Way.

5.16: Different coloured stone used in ashlar masonry quoins

moulton . northamptonshire | village design statement 13 5.16: New development can incorporate the mix of finishes 5.16 Detailing to good effect Much of the character of a village is to be found in the detail. The ashlar masonary quoins and window reveals sometimes in pale coloured stone, sometimes in rich iron stone and sometimes in red brick can be seen on many buildings. The random mixture of these architectural details together with thatched or slated roofs produces a delightful mixture of effects.

5.17 Off Road Vehicle Management The off road management of vehicles in relation to the street scene and to individual properties must be considered. The provision of garages for vehicles does not reflect current lifestyles as very rarely nowadays are 5.16: Tightly arranged 3-storey houses with slate roofs and vehicles parked in garages, which are generally used as different sized windows in the Church Mews development external stores. Vehicles are normally parked on hard standing or often on the village streets.

5.18 Waste Bin and Recycling Container Storage Where space is limited the bins and boxes can be visually intrusive and facilities for their storage needs careful consideration in all new development.

6. Character of the Highways

6.1 There are six roads leading into and out of the village differing greatly in nature. To the north and west the three leading to neighbouring villages of Holcot, Pitsford and Boughton are typical unkerbed country 5.16: Red brick and ironstone used in close proximity to lanes with grass verges, trees and hedges. To the good effect in the Pound Lane development south is a kerbed minor distributor road connecting to Northampton, with a complete footpath on one side and a partial one on the other.
