Meetings, Agendas, and Minutes HIGH PEAK BOROUGH COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE 29th June 2020 Application HPK/2018/0584 No: Location The Crescent, Buxton, SK17 6AY Proposal HPK/2018/0584 – Listed Building Consent for amendment to HPK/2011/0323 and HPK/2014/0351 for extension and redevelopment of the Crescent and part of the Old Hall into a spa hotel Applicant Buxton Crescent Hotel and Thermal Spa Company Ltd Agent Ms Sam Pace Ward/Parish Date registered If you have a question about this report please contact: Lisa Howard [email protected] 01538 395400 ext. 4923 1. REFERRAL The application is referred to the Development Control Committee because it is a major development and due to HPBC interests in the site / development. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION APPROVE subject to conditions 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE AND ITS SURROUNDINGS 2.1 The Crescent was built between 1779 and 1790 immediately to the east of the natural baths which were constructed in 1712. The purpose of The Crescent was to form appropriate accommodation for visitors coming to take the waters and was an attempt to compete with the then fashionable spa bathing in Bath, the only other thermal spa in the country. The Crescent was designed by John Carr as an 18th century leisure complex which is believed to have originally comprised of two hotels situated at either end of the Crescent and six lodging houses. 2.2 The Hotel was a very new form of building taking over from Inns as places of leisure and accommodation and it is significant that the difference between a Hotel and previous forms of accommodation was the inclusion of public ‘assembly rooms’. Though many adaptations have occurred within the Crescent to support the demands of bathrooms facilities and catering, the fabric of the Crescent has remained substantially intact. 2.3 The Pump Room was designed by Henry Currey and was constructed I the late 19th Century. With the exception of the enclosure of the arcade to the front and the later removal of the two domes, the building has largely remained unaltered. 1 2.4 In 1937 the new baths were again reconstructed at a cost of 20,000 including new Entrance Hall of red and white marble and a panelled oak rest room incorporated into the centre of the baths. The Natural Baths continued to be enjoyed until their eventual closure in 1972 when the new swimming pool at Buxton Leisure Centre, was opened. 2.5 Following the closure of the baths for public bathing in 1972 the buildings have in recent years been used as the Tourist Information Centre. Other parts of the Natural Baths have stood empty. The only use of the spa itself being the extraction of water for bottling, to supply the Devonshire hospital and to supply water to the modern swimming pool. 2.6 The Pump Room was last used as a museum (the Micrarium) which closed in 1996. 2.7 More recently, works in associated with Planning and listed Building Consent for the restoration and reuse of the historic buildings as a spa hotel have commenced and are reaching imminent completion. 3. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL 3.1 Listed Building Consent is sought to regularise working amendments that have arisen during the course of The Crescent project in respect of Listed building Consent references HPK/2011/0323 and HPK/2014/0351. All working amendments have taken place with the corroboration of the Crescent Consents Group, which includes, inter alia, representatives from Historic England, the Trust, Conservation specialists, Derbyshire County Council and the High Peak Borough Council. 3.2 Approval is sought for the following works: Public rooms east pavilion Removal of modern floorboards and replacement with historic floorboards Removal of fire screen Basement Visitor Experience fit out to include closing in of the door and window openings and introduction of level access platform; Ground floor Retain large window to life lobby First floor Removal of existing partition between rooms F26 and F27 Amendment to bathroom pod layout and removal of curved facade to rooms F04, F08, F12, F16 and F20 External Addition of access ramps to the arcade Reinstatement of chimney pots 2 Repairs to the Stag and Crest including the reinstatement of antlers and the application of a protectives shelter coat as follows: .

CONSULTATIONS CARRIED OUT 4 Expiry date for comments: 26/12/2019 Neighbours None received. Consultations Consultee Comment Officer response Historic Limited information is provided on the England impact on the significance of the listed building of some aspects of the proposed scheme including repairs to the Stag and Crest, treatment of the north wall above No.7 The Square, loss of fanlights and removal of chimney breasts. Accordingly we are not in a position to comment on the impact of all aspects of the proposals and recommend that further information is provided. Our advice is provided in line with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, updated version 2019), the NPPF Planning Practice Guide, and in good practice advice notes produced by Historic England on behalf of the Historic Environment Forum including Managing Significance in Decision-Taking in the Historic Environment We advise that further information on aspects of the scheme, particularly those noted above, is required to meet the requirements of the NPPF, particularly paragraphs 189 and 190. The NPPF also states that when considering the impact of a proposed development on the significance of a designated heritage asset, great weight should be given to its conservation (and the more important the asset the greater the weight should be) (paragraph 193). Any harm or loss to significance ‘should require clear and convincing justification’ (paragraph 194). Your authority should also take account of the desirability of sustaining and enhancing the significance of heritage 5 assets (paragraph 192). Recommendation: Historic England has concerns regarding the applications on heritage grounds. Your authority should take there representations into account and seek amendments, safeguards or further information as set out in our advice. Updated comments: In response to the comments received from Historic England additional information has been submitted. In light of the details provided Historic England have confirmed that they raise no objection. Conservation I have now had a chance to look through Officer the further set of drawings submitted on 3rd June 2020 and I can confirm that they are a true reflection of the discussions held at the Consents Group meetings, the minutes of which I understand are to be placed on the public record. The Consents Group met monthly throughout both the detailed design and construction stages of the project and were an opportunity to discuss the numerous design and heritage details and issues as they arose.

Following the dark ages, the medieval period saw this spring being a place of cure by receiving the waters of St. Ann’s Well. This also saw the building of the Hall at Buxton and following a fire the new Hall. This is the place where Mary Queen of Scots was held under house arrest on the instructions of Queen Elizabeth of England. And it is here next to the Spa Bath as depicted by Speed on his map of Derbyshire that the Hall and subsequently the New Hall (now known as the Old Hall) is located. Following the destruction of the temple to the spring on the instructions of Oliver Cromwell, the spring fell into a period of little use. However, with the Georgian fashion of Spa visiting, Buxton had a new life, starting with John Barker’s new baths adjoining the Hall at Buxton which were constructed in 1712. Through the 18 th Century and early 19 th Century, a number of alterations were made to the baths culminating in a major re-design by Henry Currey between 1851 and 1856.

  • Land at Market Street, Buxton
    High Peak Borough Council Land at Market Street, Buxton Heritage Impact Study Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions UK Limited – September 2018 3 © Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions UK Limited Executive summary High Peak Borough Council (hereafter ‘the Council’ proposes to redevelop land at Market Street in Buxton for residential development of up to 40 dwellings (hereafter ‘the proposed development’). The site is located at National Grid Reference (NGR) SK058730 within the historic heart of Buxton, Derbyshire. This report has been produced for the purpose of assessing the potential impact of the proposed development upon heritage assets within the site and the surrounding area. Impacts may occur through disturbance within the site or upon the setting of surrounding assets, changing the way they may be viewed, understood or experienced. Due to the intimate and enclosed character of the Conservation Areas contained within the area surrounding the site there is very limited visibility towards the proposed development form these and their associated individual listed buildings and historic structures. As the site is outside of the designated areas and of a design that is sympathetic to the character of the neighbouring Conservation Areas it will have a negligible effect upon the built heritage of Buxton. There is a potential for as yet unknown archaeological material to be present within the site as identified by the site being contained within the Central Buxton Area of Archaeological Interest and the presence of numerous Historic Environment Records present within the surrounding area. The majority of the site appears to be relatively undisturbed by recent activity with the exception of the current structures that are present and as such if any archaeological remains are present they are likely to have survived in a coherent form.

  • Investing in Heritage 2004
    INVESTING IN HERITAGE financing small town regeneration Case Study: BUXTON Outcome from the ‘Focus on... regeneration through public buildings and spaces’ seminar 29 June 2004 English Historic Towns Forum Foreword Buxton is an extraordinary town, combining an unusually fine mixture of buildings, parks and public spaces. Following decades of decline, there is now a strong sense that the vision and energy of a wide range of local people and organisations is beginning to transform it into a very attractive place in which to live, work and study. I am delighted to support this English Historic Towns Forum publication, which highlights the way that successful regeneration of historic towns needs to seamlessly encompass landscape, public spaces, and architecture. This can only be achieved by taking a long-term approach. CABE Space is the national champion for improving parks and public spaces, and is supporting local authorities to take this sort of strategic approach to improving the civic realm. The progress that Buxton has made so far, and its exciting plans for the future, demonstrate the power of both strategic thinking about placemaking, and long-term vision. Julia Thrift Director, CABE Space Introduction For centuries, Buxton has been a spa town popular with visitors from around the world. Renowned for its natural mineral water, summer music festivals and outstanding Peak District setting, it has a huge legacy of fine Georgian and Victorian architecture largely built under the patronage of the Dukes of Devonshire. The town’s popularity declined throughout the 20th century so much so that its local economy became unable to sustain the costs of maintaining its own infrastructure and architectural heritage.
