Listing NGR: SD3800676725 Selected Sources Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details National Grid Reference: SD 38006 76725 Map DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORKS Erect a 1 metre high picket fence along a 10 metre length of the edge of the lawn with a picket style garden gate for access to the garden and a picket style driveway gate across a section of our driveway which no neighbouring property has right of access. ASSESSMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE Boarbank Farm dates from 1878 and is situated to the north east of Boarbank Hall. The Stable Range was thought to be built for Boarbank Hall. The significance of the heritage asset is mainly due to it’s scale and use of local materials and of course the Clock Tower. It is a prominent landmark within the village. JUSTIFICATION AND MITIGATION STRATEGY It is accepted that for the LPA to consider this application, it is necessary to provide a detailed description and justification of the works. BACKGROUND The proposed works are to fence the garden to make it safe and secure for reasons which include: an enclosed area for my two Shih Tzu dogs to roam and to make it more private now that the neighbouring property 2 Boarbank Farm has become a holiday let, which increases the traffic down the drive significantly. EXTENT OF WORKS The proposed fence and gating of the garden will give us some privacy and a distinct boundary to our property where my dogs can play in the garden without them running down the drive to greet people coming to the properties at Boarbank Farm especially unsuspecting strangers arriving at the holiday let. The garden will be a safe enclosed space to be when friends and relatives visit with young children. ASSESSMENT The proposed fencing and gates are of low scale and will have a positive impact on the significance of the heritage asset. The classic victorian picket fence and gates will be in keeping with the property. ACCESS The garden works at the property will not change in terms of access to or from the site or within in the property itself. HISTORICAL INTEREST In years gone by when Boarbank Farm was a working farm the garden was in fact completely fenced and offered a grazing facility to a very nice horse. .
