The Working Party is happy with the general principle of the proposal but concerned about the details which are sketchy and materials which are unspecified.  Request that a method statement be conditional on any permission and for Conservation Officer to monitor.

 

No objections.

 

 

 

No objections.

 

 

 

The Working Party would prefer that a more recessive colour was negotiated for the units on the rear wall or that a better design for the roof scheme was proposed which would be less intrusive.

 

The Working Party did not object to the proposed house being situated away from the main farmstead as historically this is often the case.  However the proposed dwelling at its current scale was considered excessive and should be more recessive in every aspect.  The quality of the architecture is not good enough and will detract from the setting of the listed farmstead and compete with it.  A suggestion was given for a more modern ecological approach with a much lower roof pitch.

 

No objections.
