Outbuilding Reten on Study

Outbuilding rela onship with Latchmere House

Richmond conserva on have accepted that building one is not worthy of reten on but should be recorded prior to removal. We would argue that so li le of building two remains intact that it too is not worthy of reten on. The building would be almost impossible to restore to brickwork, and its conversion is likely to create noncompliant residen al accommoda on. This situa on is compounded by the constraints that its reten on would impose on the redevelopment of the wider site. Its reten on would compromise the layout and reduce the ability to reinstate the landscape se ng for Latchmere House.

Our preferred masterplan does respond posi vely to all the other comments raised in our mee ng with Richmond and Kingston:

• A pair of gatehouses to frame the view of Latchmere House• Buildings removed from the frontage of Latchmere House• Car parking for Latchmere House moved to front and screened• Formal landscaping to the main entrance to Latchmere House• A formal lawn reinstated to the rear of Latchmere House• An extension proposed on the southern eleva on of Latchmere House• The conversion of Latchmere House changed to ensure the integrity of the main recep ons rooms are retained.

For all the reasons set out in this document we believe the approach set out in our preferred masterplan is the correct one. The layout provides the best opportunity to improve the se ng of Latchmere House, to create a sense of place and create new landscapes – both formal and informal. The limited historical benefits of retaining building two are far outweighed by the wider benefits to Latchmere House and its context.

Latchmere House - Exis ng Structural Condi on

The Eastern wing (with main stair and canted bays in brickwork) shows signs of varying levels of distress (spine wall subsidence with extensive associated cracking and distor ons to window apertures, bowed piers, bowed first floor, failing linel/spandrel panels) and further intrusive inves ga on might uncover further defects. The evidence suggests that this sec on of the building was constructed to a much more basic specifica on than the rest of Latchmere House. The most concerning defect is the defec ve founda ons which have resulted in uneven se lements giving rise to substan al cracking with evidence that movement is ongoing. Furthermore, the subsidence is likely to expose or exacerbate other inherent defects. Underpinning of the en re Phase 3 sec on should be allowed for so as to arrest any further movement, considera on might be given to jacking up the structure to its original posi on or possibly even a rebuild. When further inves ga ons are completed regarding the internal and basement founda ons to the other areas of the building the extent of any other works can be confirmed.
