I am a Chartered Town Planner and a Member of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation. I have twenty-five years professional experience as a specialist in heritage matters and also hold advanced academic qualifications in architectural and urban history. Our Practice 1.2 Montagu Evans is a leading firm of chartered surveyors. Established in 1921, we 21 owning partners employ nearly 300. I work in our West End offices, which are the registered office of the LLP. 1.3 We provide all areas of development surveying consultancy, from rating and valuation to management and investment advice. The town planning consultancy has always been central to our business, and it is provided through our Planning and Development Department. Professional Background: Some Current Projects and Clients 1.4 As a partner in the Planning and Development department I provide specialist advice on sites that involve development in the historic environment and sensitive landscapes. There I run a team of experts who work on heritage-based projects of all kinds, involving highly graded listed buildings, World Heritage Sites, Scheduled Monuments and sensitive land (conservation areas, Registered Parks, MOL, Green Belt, AONBs). I have worked on many housing schemes, large and small, which affect heritage assets directly or indirectly. I have advised on development affecting historic engineering structures and historic hospitals and workhouses, which I mention here because those asset classes are treated in my evidence in support of the Appellant. LAND NORTH OF POUND LANE, SEMINGTON 2 CHRIS MIELE PROOF OF EVIDENCE RE HERITAGE MATTERS 1.5 I act regularly as an independent expert witness on planning appeals and call-in inquiries. I am aware of the duties of expert planning witnesses. I work to the RTPI Code of Conduct for chartered planners at appeals (see signed affirmation at the conclusion of this Proof). My Evidence is also prepared in accordance with the March 2016 guidance on planning appeals, Annexe O, ‘What is expert evidence?’ 1.6 My public and charitable clients have included the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Trustees of the Victoria and Albert and Natural History Museums in London, English Heritage, the Oxford Colleges (Magdalen, Keble and Exeter), University College London, Keele University, Middlesex University, Transport for London, the City of Westminster, and Southern Water. I have also worked for the Greater London Authority, first on the preparation of the London View Management Framework 2007 edition (SPG to the then London Plan), and on the redesign of Parliament Square, which bounds the Westminster World Heritage Site. 1.7 This is in addition to the advisory work I do to support development work undertaken by major cultural institutions, notably the British Museum and South Bank Centre. I advise the Universities of Leicester and Sheffield on a range of projects, along with other notable educational institutions (Sussex, Durham, and Oxford). 1.8 Over the last five years I have become more involved in large housing schemes and town extensions as well as the promotion of land for housing allocations through the local plan. My clients include major national housebuilders: Commercial Estates Group, City and Country, Hallam Land, Wates, Bloor, Berkeley, Barratt’s, Fairview New Homes, Barwood Land and Estates, Barratt’s, Taylor Wimpey, and Gladman. This is my first instruction with Richborough Estates. 1.9 I have no other current instructions with the Appellant. I describe my involvement in further detail in the next section. LAND NORTH OF POUND LANE, SEMINGTON 3 CHRIS MIELE PROOF OF EVIDENCE RE HERITAGE MATTERS Other Relevant Experience, including CABE, Select Committee Advice and English Heritage Advice 1.10 I draw to the Inspector’s attention other relevant experience, notably my work as a panel member on the National Design Review Panel of the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment or ‘CABE’ from 2003 to end 2007. 1.11 I have previously acted as professional advisor to the ODPM Select Committee on Heritage and Regeneration and in this capacity contributed to the Committee’s report and recommendations on that subject (2005). I have also served as an external member on English Heritage’s Research and Standards Committee. Past Employment 1.12 Formerly I was Senior Planning Director at RPS Planning central London office, and before that, from 1998 to 2004, a Director at Alan Baxter & Associates, a multi- disciplinary consultancy based in engineering. 1.13 From 1991 to 1998 I was employed by English Heritage (now Historic England), providing advice in support of its statutory functions. I should add here, because it is relevant to the facts of this case, that I trained at EH as a listing inspector (as we were called then), and continued to contribute to listing casework from time to time where the matter at hand reflected my particular expertise. I continue to represent clients in designation matters. Thus I consider myself particularly qualified to comment on the extent of the listing as it pertains to the Aqueduct – that is the basis of OL’s criticism of RE’s proposals, as I will explain further in section 5.0. Academic Qualifications and Credentials/Publications 1.14 Before settling in the United Kingdom, and whilst completing my masters and doctoral work, I held several academic and museum appointments, at Columbia University, LAND NORTH OF POUND LANE, SEMINGTON 4 CHRIS MIELE PROOF OF EVIDENCE RE HERITAGE MATTERS New York University, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum of Modern Art, all in New York. 1.15 I hold an Honours Degree (BA) in the history of architecture and planning from Columbia College, Columbia University in the City of New York, and post-graduate degrees – an MA and a PhD – in this subject area from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, New York University. I latterly studied town and country planning at South Bank University. 1.16 I have an extensive record of academic and professional publications. This includes editing a volume of essays in Yale University Press’ Studies in British Art series, on the history and philosophy of the conservation movement in this country. In April 2010 Merrell published my book on the new UK Supreme Court, a Grade II* listed Edwardian building on Parliament Square. I contributed to and designed this commercial publication for the Ministry of Justice and UK Supreme Court. 1.17 English Heritage published a book I wrote jointly with a former colleague, on C18 architecture. I am currently working on a biography of the Victorian architect George Gilbert Scott. I have published articles recently on him along with other historical publications (currently an essay for a collection of articles on the C19 century design William Morris). 1.18 I am invited to review books and articles in my special subject area, and have been a referee for proposals put to the British Academy on architectural-heritage topics in addition to reviewing proposals to the AHRC. This is in addition to regular lectures at professional and academic conferences in the UK, USA and in Europe. I have also served on the management committee of the William Morris Society, and I am recently appointed as chairperson to the Board of the post-graduate Centre for Urban History, Leicester University. LAND NORTH OF POUND LANE, SEMINGTON 5 CHRIS MIELE PROOF OF EVIDENCE RE HERITAGE MATTERS 1.19 In recognition of my scholarly achievements I have been elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (2001) and of the Society of Antiquaries, London (2000). 1.20 I was additionally a trustee of two historic houses in London (including one of Elizabethan date) and for several years chaired a conservation area advisory committee in my local London area. 1.21 I set out this academic background because I consider it goes to the weight to be attributed to my Evidence about the significance of the heritage assets under discussion.

  • Martello Towers Research Project
    Martello Towers Research Project March 2008 Jason Bolton MA MIAI IHBC www.boltonconsultancy.com Conservation Consultant [email protected] Executive Summary “Billy Pitt had them built, Buck Mulligan said, when the French were on the sea”, Ulysses, James Joyce. The „Martello Towers Research Project‟ was commissioned by Fingal County Council and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, with the support of The Heritage Council, in order to collate all known documentation relating to the Martello Towers of the Dublin area, including those in Bray, Co. Wicklow. The project was also supported by Dublin City Council and Wicklow County Council. Martello Towers are one of the most well-known fortifications in the world, with examples found throughout Ireland, the United Kingdom and along the trade routes to Africa, India and the Americas. The towers are typically squat, cylindrical, two-storey masonry towers positioned to defend a strategic section of coastline from an invading force, with a landward entrance at first-floor level defended by a machicolation, and mounting one or more cannons to the rooftop gun platform. The Dublin series of towers, built 1804-1805, is the only group constructed to defend a capital city, and is the most complete group of towers still existing in the world. The report begins with contemporary accounts of the construction and significance of the original tower at Mortella Point in Corsica from 1563-5, to the famous attack on that tower in 1794, where a single engagement involving key officers in the British military became the catalyst for a global military architectural phenomenon. However, the design of the Dublin towers is not actually based on the Mortella Point tower.

See also Figs 8.1 and 8.13. 1.f Area of the property: 9 hectares 2. Description 2.a Description of the property Introduction The Royal Observatory occupies a small wooded hill about 6 km east of central Cape Town, within a conservation area known as the Two Rivers Urban Park. Its location was originally chosen to be within view of the Table Bay, the anchorage in front of the City, to permit the visual signalling of time to visiting ships. The property is one of the last remaining places close to the city centre where the original ecology of the area is preserved. Its low-lying portions are subject to occasional flooding. Some sixty or more structures occupy the site at present. Many of these date from the nineteenth century. The Greek Revival Main Building of 1825–8 still dominates the hill and faces a lawn to the south which forms an axis along which are many smaller edifices such as domes and dwelling houses, most dating from the Victorian period and forming a pleasant coherent whole.

  • Bridge Bearings – a Historical Survey
    Bridge bearings – A Historical Survey Volker Wetzk (From the German by Barthold Pelzer, Berlin) In: Dunkeld, M. et al. (Ed.): Proceedings of the 2nd International Congress on Construction History, Queens´ College, Cambridge University, March 29-April 2, 2006, vol.3, pp.3333-3355. ISBN 0-7017-0205-2 Abstract The support of early bridge constructions was an unproblematic affair. The arches and pillars of the ancient stone bridges amalgamated thus forming a homogeneous unity. In the case of timber constructions on the other hand neither the material nor the widths spanned caused substantial problems and therefore they did not require any particular solutions. With the introduction of iron, reinforced concrete and finally prestressed concrete as building materials new dimensions in bridge building were achieved. Special bearing technologies had to be employed to allow for movements due to temperature differences and impact of heavy traffic. In the course of time engineers have developed a wide variety of bridge bearings to comply with both the requirements of the design and with those of the structure. The following paper portraying the development of bridge bearings evaluates historical and contemporary research on a systematic basis. It follows the chronological evolution of bearings, commencing with wooden bearings, then deals with plane and rotating bearings made of iron and steel, and finally the employment of plastic for deformation bearings used nowadays. Only the evolution of the major forms of bearings will be presented. INTRODUCTION In the course of the past two centuries bridge bearings evolved as parts of immense sophistication and complexity in modern bridges. The ever-increasing spans went hand in hand with the rapid growth of the loads to be carried.
