The
Working Party does not object to the principle of the agricultural
workers dwelling in this location but would want to ensure that the
windows were timber not upvc and the
glazed extension was also in an appropriate material. The group wanted consideration to be given to the
removal of permitted development rights especially in relation to
roof works and boundary features. Some
concern was raised over the slightly elevated ground on the site
proposed for the dwelling which would make the dwelling more
visible from the setting of the farmstead and the model
farm. There were no objections to the
proposed agricultural buildings. The
Working Party wants to ensure that the increase in development and
intensification in this location does not harm the rural setting,
in relation to landscaping, maintaining the rustic and simple
setting and hedgerows etc. This may be
compromised by highway works particularly and not enough detail is
provided in this regard. More detail on
the landscaping around the house is required.

The
Working Party welcomes the revisions to this scheme particularly
the relocation and scale of the visitor facility closer to the
parking area. It recommends that a wood shingle roof would be
better than slate in this location. The
Party welcomes the additional parking area by removal of the laurel
hedge but this feature is tall and dense and provides a valuable
screening of the cars and garages from the more formal setting
around the house and lawns. This
element of intimacy and surprise provided by the hedge is important
and another hedge might be appropriate to provide some boundary
screening to the car park.

The
Working Party is happy with the principle of a supermarket in this
location although would prefer if it were slightly smaller and
positioned further from the canal boundary. A more robust and characterful design and use of
materials is preferable in this location rather than a standard
fits all design and there are examples of this in other towns and
locations. The landscaping needs
improving and should be taller along the canalside edge to screen the car park and concern
was raised in relation to the prominence of the car parking at what
is a higher level on the canalside. The large
sign on the top of the SW elevations and the adverts on the side of
the building are not appropriate and should be removed from the
proposal as they are harmful in this location to the amenity of the
character of the Conservation Area.
There could be a sign near the canal (and of a more appropriate
size) to advertise the store to canal users.
