Appendix XI: Plan of proposed alterations to the conservation area boundary


0 110 22055 Meters

O

Please read with explanatory notes on the following page

Streatley Conservation Area Appraisal Proposed alterations to the present conservation area boundary: Explanatory notes to Appendix XI July 2010

Note on Plan

Proposed Change Reason

1 Include curtilages of Townsend House and of properties to the south

To define CA by a clear boundary

2 Include walled former part of gardens to Streatley House, as shown in historic mapping

Historic evidence and surviving features

3 Include curtilage to Fern Cottage and to adjacent properties

To define CA by a clear boundary

4 Include Hill House, Hill House Cottages, Greenhill Villa, Fernlea and Yew Tree Cottage and the curtilages of the properties. These properties sit within the historic confines of Streatley, marking the southern approach to the village


5 Include the rear garden of The Bull public house. This is clearly defined by mature trees which form the historic boundary to the curtilage of the inn


6 Include the walled garden to the west of Elm Lodge, The Old School House and The Old School, and the walled curtilage to the latter two properties


7 Include the open garden setting to the dovecote as far as a belt of trees and shrubs to the west

To protect the setting of the dovecote

Note that all the above changes are additive and would result in extensions to the present conservation area. Further suggested changes: (a) It is desirable that minor discrepancies between the settlement boundary and conservation area boundaries are reconciled. (b) Minor errors should be corrected in accordance with current best GIS practice eg at A on the map at Appendix XI. (The above additional suggested changes are not addressed in the plan at Appendix XI).
