9. 2. Introduction
The following D & A is for proposed works at Holly Cottage, The Street, Gosfield,
CO9 1TP and will accompany plan No. 1505-12918-1 and this Design and Access
Statement relates to a single storey garden room to be attached to a previous
single storey rear extension. Holly Cottage is Grade II Listed, details of which you
will find within the appendices.
3. Land Use
The property in question is situated in a predominantly residential area, although it does
aside a public house and there are shops and the local school close-by. There is no
proposed change to the residential use of this site under the proposed application.
4. Development Amount
The proposed extension has been specifically designed to allow adequate seating
area as the building has been designed to allow relaxation and views of the existing
garden and the clients have been very specific in terms of the size in which they
require the additional room/structure.
5. Site Layout
There is, on-site, clear access from front to rear of the site by means of a hardened
walkway. The main has access via the front door with rooms and staircase coming
off the main section of the house.
6. Development Scale Relationship
The proposed single storey extension has been specifically designed to ensure that
it is subordinate in comparison to the existing rear extension. It has been designed
with recommendations from listed buildings adviser. The elements in question are
vernacularly correct for the area and ensure that the eye is drawn to the higher
points of the structure without awkward and heavy visual breaks.
7. Landscaping
The existing landscaping of the site is of a mature nature and any dramatic change
in this area would be detrimental to the site.
8. Design Rationale
The clients in question wish to construct an additional room to their property to
allow them to formally enjoy the garden throughout all the months of the year. It is
3
10. proposed that the structure be timber framed with an upper oak stud timber frame
arrangement with rebated fixed double glazed units between the studs. The roof is
to have open-ended rafter feet and tiles to match that of the existing main house.
The valleys will be constructed from leadwork and ridge tiles to be red in colour to
match that of the existing and proposed roof tiles.
9. Professional Involvement
Essex county council listed building department where consulted before this
application was submitted.
10. Planning Policies Assessment
Relevant local and national government policies have been reviewed in relation to
this application.
11. Site Access
The existing access to the property will not change.
12. Conclusion
The proposed extension is insignificant and subordinate to the remainder of the historic
element of the main building and can easily be reversed at any stage. It is in no way
detrimental to the existing structure and in some respects the design compliments the
overall rear elevation of the structure. Therefore, I propose the application be granted.
13. Heritage Statement
The structure in question is timber framed 17th Century or earlier, with a number of
historical alterations over that period to the present day. The structure has a
number of interesting historical features within it and which you would expect to see
on a dwelling of this type and stature. For further information, please refer to the
Listed entry within the appendix. The proposed extension will, in no way interfere
with the existing historic fabric and there will not be any detrimental loss of the
historic fabric under the proposed application. The extension design has been
specific in regards to being very subordinate in nature to the rest of the historic
house and the added detail of oak work and open rafter feet to ensure that it is
viewed as an extension to the existing structure, but in the same respects is shown
as being sympathetic in-keeping and using materials which are vernacularly correct
for the age of the building.
