INTRODUCTION This appraisal of Snainton seeks to record and analyse the various features of the Conservation Area and immediately adjacent areas that give it its characteristics in order to inform the making of decisions which are likely to affect that character. The area’s buildings and spaces are noted and described, and marked on the Character Appraisal Map along with significant trees, boundaries and other features. This appraisal builds upon national policy, as set out in PPG15, and local policy, as set out in the Local Plan, and provides a firm basis on which development proposals in Snainton can be assessed. Snainton Conservation Area was designated 1985 as it was recognised as an ‘Area of Special Architectural or Historic Interest’ the character and appearance of which it is desirable to preserve and enhance’. The Planning Authority has a duty to review all its designated Conservation Areas and their boundaries from time to time, to define and analyse the merits of the designated area. No review has taken place since 1985. This character appraisal is part of that review but also looks at a wider area. The current Conservation Area has an area of 17.66 hectares (43.63 acres) To be concise and readable, the appraisal does not record all features. The omission of any feature from the text or accompanying maps does not, therefore, mean that it is not of interest or value. English Heritage have produced guidance on preparing Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans. That guidance has informed the preparation, layout and content of this document, as has the guidance contained in PPG15: Planning and the Historic Environment, and guidance from the English Historic Towns Forum. This appraisal has benefited from the input of Snainton Parish Council who held a public meeting to discuss the appraisal. The historical development of Snainton and assessment of the some of the buildings has drawn on the following sources;- www.snainton village.co.uk www.victoriacountyhistory.ac.uk www.british-history.ac.uk

THE PLANNING POLICY CONTEXT Designation of Conservation Areas takes place under the provisions of Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. A Conservation Area is defined as “an Area of Special Architectural or Historic Interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”. It is the quality and interest of an area, rather than that of individual buildings, which is the prime consideration in identifying a Conservation Area. Section 71 of the same Act requires Local Planning Authorities to formulate and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement of any parts of their area that are designated as Conservation Areas. Section 72 specifies that, in making a decision on an application for development in a Conservation Area, special attention shall be paid to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character and appearance of that area. This document should be read in conjunction with national planning policy guidance, particularly Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 (PPG15) - Planning and the Historic Environment. Local Planning Policy This appraisal provides a basis on which applications for development within the area can be assessed. The wider Development Plan Policy Framework produced by Scarborough Borough Council provides the context for this document. That policy is set out in a number of documents :- Scarborough Borough Local Plan, adopted in April 1999, provides a number of policies on Conservation Areas. The Local Development Framework (LDF) will be a portfolio of local development documents, collectively delivering the spatial planning strategy for the whole of the Borough (outside the National Park). The Local Development Framework, when adopted, will replace the Local Plan; but the following Local Plan policies relevant to the Snainton area will be ‘saved’ for the time being :-

E14 - Extensions and Alterations E23 - Detailing in Conservation Areas H3 - Small Scale/Infill Housing Development H12 - The Conversion and Sub-Division of Buildings for Residential Use

These policies are backed up by the following published policy and guidance leaflets and booklets :-

LOCATION AND SETTING Snainton Village is located about 14km (8.5 miles) west of Scarborough town centre on the main Scarborough to Pickering road A170. At this point the road is running at a level of between 30 and 40 metres above sea level and the village occupies a shoulder of land above the lower lying land to the south, The village occupies a position where the low lying post glacial alluvial clays and gravels give way to the Jurassic rocks to the north. The shoulder of land on which the village lies is formed by the Kimmeridge clay. This setting is typical of many villages in this area where they have a territory which is long and thin extending from the high moorland in the north through to the wet Carr lands adjacent the river Derwent in the South. The setting of the village is thus at the boundary between two markedly different landscapes as recognised in the Landscape Appraisal carried out for the Scarborough Borough Local Plan - to the south the Vale of Pickering; to the north the Moors fringe

The location of the village at the interface between the Vale of Pickering and the moors fringe to the north

The impression of the Vale of Pickering is of a flat landscape characterised by distant views of the Wolds and Moors. However from within, much of it is gently undulating and in combination with variations in tree cover, soil type and patterns of agricultural use this is a landscape of subtle variety. The area immediately south of Snainton is characteristically one of intensive arable fields. Whilst the Vale is crossed by some minor roads, it has a feeling of inaccessibility. Many of the roads from Snainton into the Carrs are in fact dead ends. Away from Snainton village, this is a landscape where human habitation is restricted almost solely to large farmsteads – an exceptional example of these being Foulbridge which is a Hall of the Knights Templar. A major influence on this area was a drainage scheme initiated by Sir George Cayley, which consisted of straightening the rivers Derwent, and Hertford and forming a series of drainage ditches crisscrossing the vale and draining into the river Derwent. The sea cut at Scalby was also constructed which greatly reduced flooding of the Derwent. The work was carried out by the Muston and Yedingham Drainage Company and by 1807; 10,886 acres of farmland had been improved at a cost of £41,932 - without this work; this low lying area would still be marshy wetland.

The Moors Fringe occupies the south facing dip slope of the Jurassic rocks, indented by dry valleys. This is largely a quiet, managed agricultural landscape devoted to arable use. Large fields are bounded by low hedges on spurs between dry valleys - Welldale, Nettledale, Wydale and Brompton Dale which, running roughly north-south dissect the area. However, immediately north of Snainton a fault has brought Kimmeridge clay to the surface resulting in very steep slopes used for pasture. This bank with its hedgerows and trees forms a distinctive backdrop to Snainton village which is largely contained at the foot of this slope –see photograph below.

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT

The name of Snainton is believed to originate from a farmstead associated with a man called Snoc. In 1086 Snainton was recorded as Sechintune. There may have been an earlier settlement in about the 6th and 7th centuries as some Anglo Saxon finds were discovered off Station Road when the Orchard Estate was built in 1991. In the early medieval period there were a number of Manors in Snainton, which probably accounts for it diffuse built form - William de Percy’s is believed to have been at the end of what is now West Lane and was known as Westhorpe – a square enclosure is recorded as an earthwork in the field west of The Kennels. Another manorhouse, was located where Carr House is now situated half a mile to the south of the village. Carr House is a modern farm incorporating some portions of 17th-century work and formerly surrounded by a moat though it has been filled in recent years. In about 1189 Roger Bigod granted lands at Foulbridge to the Templars; their Hall, which can still be seen at Foulbridge, was completed in 1290. Low Hall opposite the West Lane/Croft Lane is perhaps on the site of the capital messuage mentioned in 1558. Snainton shows good evidence of the medieval farming system of infields and outfields - the former which are probably of pre-Conquest origin were much more regularly cropped. In Snainton the large outfields developed between about 1150 and 1250 occupy the ridges between the valleys and were called West Field, Middle Field, Heydon Field the latter extended north as Moresom. The infields included Undercliff and Middle Head which were divided into long thin strips. This division between infields and outfields is a reflection of the sheep – corn husbandry oractised in this area from the 12th century. Remnants of the infield system can be seen in property boundaries and rigg and furrow north of High Street. Garth Head Lane, which is a sunken lane shows evidence of great age marks the boundary between the infield and outfield running east-west and it continues eastward on a marked field bank known as a lynchet. To the south of the village the curved hedge lines of the fields which existed before the village can be seen. The next big influence on the landscape and village form was the enclosure awards in the later part of the 18th century. The Snainton enclosure award was granted in 1768 and the land (about 4062 acres) was distributed among those with a claim or rights to any land. The stone walls enclosing the fields and the detached farm steads around Snainton today are a legacy of that time. About the same time, ie in 1740, the turnpike act, came in as a means to raise funds to repair roads. In Snainton, a toll bar was erected and what is now known as the Coachman Inn became a post inn. The road through Yedingham was the main road to York, the road to Pickering being merely a back road and not properly surfaced. Also dating from the early 18th century, ie prior to enclosures, is the pinfold, which stands on the high street . Pinfolds were found in most villages at the time of the medieval open field system and it was not until enclosures became common that livestock was kept under control and pinfolds were no longer needed.

By 1823 the recorded trades in Snainton were 3 shoemakers, 3 shopkeepers, 3 tailors, 2 wheelwrights, 2 bakers, 4 butchers, a saddler, a blacksmith and a cooper, however the majority trade at this time is still that of farmer with 16 listed. Of the ‘public’ buildings the present church, St Stephen′s, was built in 1835 to replace the first church built about 1150 as a chapel of ease of Brompton. The Primitive Methodist Church, in Station Road, was built in 1868 but is no longer in this use, being F A Stockhills premises; but the Methodist Church on the corner of West Lane, built in 1894 is still in use. The Reading Room was built in 1861 by Mr Leaf and was used by local gentlemen to read the papers. It was also the site of the original village school and is shown as such on the 1892 map the year the present purpose built school was opened. Since 1894 the Reading Room has been the place where the Parish Council meets. Railways were a huge influence on the development of villages and Snainton was no exception. The railway to Snainton (which ran between Seamer and Malton) opened in 1882, It was to be short-lived and closed in 1950 though the red brick station buildings still stand at the bottom of Station Road – development of the latter road can be attributed to the presence of the railway. The village has a population of about 800 (in 2004 the estimated population of the parish was 890 but this covers a larger area than the village – this figure is the same as for the 2001 census.

CHARACTER ANALYSIS General Character Snainton is basically a linear village with the principal historic area of development along High Street, although there are other areas of early development. Along High Street the earliest buildings ie pre 1852 run from Manor Farm in the east to Cliff Farm in the west with spurs off a short way up Nettledale Lane and down Station Road (historically Middle Lane). The buildings along High Street are generally close to the highway and parallel to it, with little development in depth. Exceptions to the latter are a small number of terraces of very modest cottages or outbuildings which run off at right angles to the main alignment – 4-8 High Street; adjacent Prospect Farm; 32-36 High Street and, on the north side, near 69 High Street and 73 High Street. Many of these modest cottages must have been conversions of outbuildings grouped around the farmhouses which would have been more common in the village centre than now – effectively tenements were created. Cliff Farm and the group of buildings around the courtyard behind is a survivor of what must have been a more typical form throughout High Street. There is a further area of loose historic development on West Lane starting at Cruck Cottage (formerly Merryweathers) in the east and extending to The Kennels in the west. These small groups of buildings, which would originally have been farmsteadings, must be associated with either Westfield Manor or the capital messuage of Low Hall – it would have been practically a separate village. Unlike on High Street, these groups of buildings are not all built hard up to the highway – Holme Farm, Low Farm, Kennels Farm and Low Hall are all set well back. Finally there is another tight knit historic community on Pudding Lane (south side) and Bewicks yard of which the principal building is Grosvenor House.

The view into Beswicks Yard from Pudding Lane is a very characteristic piece on built landscape

In filling between these groups of historic development, principally in the 20th century, has lead to a almost complete ribbon of development along High street between Barkers Lane and Undercliff; along Station Road down to the former railway station and along the south side of west Lane between Station raid and Low Hall. However

A Character Appraisal of Snainton CWH/CLS Page 9

Page 10: Snainton Character Appraisal and Management Proposals

all of these are still essentially frontage developments with little development in depth Grain The figureground for Snainton (a map which simply shows the buildings and therefore the proportion of building to other space) illustrates the grain of the village. Development along High street is close knit give a very tight, almost hard effect. Other than the groups of buildings which run back at right angles to the main street, development is not in depth, thus the grain becomes much looser very quickly. This dense grain continues down Station Road and into Pudding Lane and the eastern end of West Lane though there is somewhat more space about the buildings. The western end of West Lane is characterised by a looser development of building groups with much space about them.

Figureground for Snainton Reverting to the main street, from Undercliff westwards development becomes much looser with wide spaces between building frontages and there is similar loose grain at the extreme eastern end of High Street. Use The village is mostly residential but it is not a purely dormitory village and there is a wide range of commercial uses especially on High Street. These commercial uses , include a Public House, two shops a post office and filling station, fish and chip shop. Community uses include the Church, the War Memorial Hall, church rooms and the play area Qualities of the Buildings A number of buildings are on The Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic interest in Snainton and these are shown on Maps 1 and 4 and are set out in Annex 1. All the Listed Buildings in the study area are at Grade II and the majority of them are traditional vernacular buildings typical of the region.

A Character Appraisal of Snainton CWH/CLS Page 10

Page 11: Snainton Character Appraisal and Management Proposals

In addition to the Listed Buildings, which clearly make a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the area, there is a number of buildings previously categorised as Grade III but now un-listed which for this Appraisal have been classified as Local Interest Buildings because of their contribution to the area. The Reading Room, Pinfold and Village Lock-up contribute to the character of the area due to their historical associations and are also included as of Local Interest.

The Village Lock-up, Nettledale Lane

The fact that a building is neither Listed nor shown as being of Local interest or Townscape Merit does not mean that it does not have merit and does not contribute to the character of the Conservation Area. These three categories make an especially valuable contribution to the area, but as the value of Conservation Areas are often greater than the sum of their parts nearly all buildings are important. In any event, and this is critical, the designation of the Conservation area means that all buildings whether Listed, otherwise designated or not will be protected and be subject to the national policies set out in PPG15. Building Materials Map 4 illustrates the main building materials. Walling: Approximately 80% of the buildings in the study area are built in local sandstone or limestone and of these the majority are built in coursed rubble sandstone or limestone especially the more modest cottages and former farm buildings. Some of the larger houses are built in squared sandstone (eg Rosea Main Street) or dressed sandstone (eg Hillcrest, 58 Main Street) - the latter gives an appearance more akin to ashlar. A small number of have a more decorative finish to the stone such as herring bone tooling (eg Grosvenor House, Pudding Lane) or hammer dressing (eg 49 High Street). Formality is lent to some of the larger buildings by the use of herring bone tooled quoins – eg Old Hall on West Lane and Grosvenor House on Pudding Lane) In the late 19th/early 20th centuries there seems to have been a fashion for the use of hard red brick – for example Peacock Inn, 25 High Street; 26 High Street. This was perhaps due to the coming of the railway making this material more readily available – the former railway station itself, which is outside the study area , is built in this material. Buildings using this material do not sit happily within the context of the stone buildings of the conservation area.

A Character Appraisal of Snainton CWH/CLS Page 11

Page 12: Snainton Character Appraisal and Management Proposals

Roofing materials. Of the stone buildings referred to above over 85% are roofed in natural red clay pantiles (or the variant natural red clay ‘celtic’ tiles). A significant minority (about 13%) are roofed in Welsh slate – in many cases these will have been the result of the replacement of earlier, local materials. Two exceptions stand out:-

Old Hall on West Lane is roofed in green Westmorland slate, although given the possible medieval origin of the building this is likely to be a replacement for stone tiles. 24 High street is the only building in the village which is thatched, although many of the 18th century buildings which currently have tiled roofs will originally have been thatched.

Of the modern dwellings, those erected since 1974 have tended to respect the tradition of stone walls and pantile roofs. Those erected earlier in the 20th century have used a mix of brick, render, random stone and concrete tiles which are less successful in the village scene. Future new building should respect the use of appropriate stone and natural clay pantiles Storey Heights Since a large number of the houses were built prior to 1852 they have relatively low ceilings which lead to low overall storey heights. In the cases of those buildings which contain cruck trusses, the eaves height is also often low with a big steeply pitched roof above containing the upper floor rooms– Cruck Cottage on West Lane is a good example of this. Two-storey is the norm in the village though there are exceptions such as Cliff Grange, West Lane and Grosvenor House, Pudding Lane. Local Details Windows The traditional window type in Snainton is either the horizontally sliding sash with small panes , or in more formal compositions or later buildings the vertically sliding sash is the norm. In the latter case they are usually of 6 over 6 pane configurations Many buildings have lost their original fenestration and Snainton Conservation Area has suffered from the large scale insertion of inappropriate windows either poor quality timber casements, mock bow windows, and bland uPVC windows. Roofs Roofs are rarely a strong architectural statement in their own right with relatively low pitches. Eaves lines are low and varied and roofs are often broken up by a wide variety of dormer windows (of variable quality) Chimney stacks are present on nearly all buildings, although they are rarely an architectural statement in their own right. Even on stone buildings, chimney stacks are generally built in mellow red brick. Frontage Boundaries

A Character Appraisal of Snainton CWH/CLS Page 12

Page 13: Snainton Character Appraisal and Management Proposals

Because many existing buildings are close up to the highway there are large areas of the village especially on High Street; the northern end of Station Road and the south side of Pudding Lane where frontage boundaries are not significant contributors to the character of the Conservation Area. Elsewhere, on West Lane, Croft Lane parts of Station Road and High Street dry stone boundary walls make a significant contribution to the character of the area. These walls should be retained where new development is proposed.

Stone boundary walls are a major contributor to the character of West Lane Street Furniture/Streetscape Three items of street furniture contribute to the village scene – a cast iron pillar box outside the Post Office, a cast iron milestone outside 76 High Street and a K6 cast iron telephone box near Manor Farm

Street furniture in High Street contributes to the ‘cherished local scene’ Open space and trees There are no areas of formal open space, such as parks or squares within the area. The church yard, with its combination of buildings, trees and green space is a significant factor in the character of the Conservation Area.

A Character Appraisal of Snainton CWH/CLS Page 13

Page 14: Snainton Character Appraisal and Management Proposals

Elsewhere, though there are some trees, they do not make a large impact upon the character or setting of the area the exception being the northern side of West Lane, west of Croft Lane. A softening effect is created by small areas where the highway verge widens sufficiently to form a small green. In High Street these include area outside

Trees contribute to West Lane Small area of open highway space in High Street Negative Factors There are no listed buildings at Risk within the study area. A group of buildings near The Kennels (including one carrying a date stone 1695 and of local interest) is boarded with a potential to adversely impact upon the character of the area. An appropriate beneficial use needs to be found for the group of buildings such That sensitive restoration and re-use could take place.

This building on West Lane which is vacant carries a date stone 1695 Planning permission was refused in 1990 for conversion of this building to a dwelling on access and amenity grounds -ie the proximity to the hunt kennels with their attendant noise problems. However given the improvement in sound proofing techniques which have come about during the intervening period the possibility exists that this may no longer be a problem

A Character Appraisal of Snainton CWH/CLS Page 14

Page 15: Snainton Character Appraisal and Management Proposals

The open parking area in front of the Peacock is not in character with the area and would be improved by either stone walls or trees. The open car park in front of The Peacock lacks a sense of enclosure and is poor street scene Archaeological Issues There are no Scheduled Ancient Monuments within the Conservation Area. A square enclosure in the field at the western end of West Lane (west of The Kennels) is partially visible on the ground and also appears on air photographs. The earthworks in this area have not been extensively studied and it is likely they reflect the location of Westfield Manor House. This part of Snainton would benefit from non-invasive archaeological study such as geophysical survey in order to better determine the extent nature and use of the earthworks. It is recommended that the Conservation Area be extended to fully include this field.

1 INTRODUCTION

This Section sets out the recommended Management Plan for the appraisal area. It sets out both policies and recommendations which are intended to preserve the character and appearance of the area. The proposals should be read in conjunction with it.

2 APPRAISAL

The appraisal identified a number of specific and general issues affecting Snainton, including enhancement opportunities and negative features. Each issue is accompanied by recommendation(s) for action, sometimes identifying further or more detailed work needed for their implementation.

The recommendations include proposals for enhancement and policies for the avoidance of harmful change.

The management proposals are written in the awareness that the Council’s resources are limited and therefore need to be prioritised. Financial constraints on the Council mean that proposals for which it is responsible may take longer than is desirable to implement. Encouragement will be given to improvements to the area in co-operation with property owners and groups.

A flexible approach should be taken to highway policies where they would be in conflict with the preservation or enhancement of the area’s character or appearance.

The structure and scope of this document is based on the suggested framework published by English Heritage in Guidance on the Management of Conservation Areas (2005). Both the Conservation Area Appraisal and the Management Proposals will be subject to monitoring and reviews.

3 LEGISLATIVE BACKGROUND

Government guidance is set out in Planning Policy Guidance 15: ‘Planning and the Historic Environment’ and there is a statutory requirement under Section 71(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 that :-

“It shall be the duty of the Local Planning Authority from time to time to formulate and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement of any parts of their area which are Conservation Areas”.

Scarborough Borough Local Plan, adopted in April 1999, provides a number of policies on Conservation Areas. The Local Development Framework (LDF) will be a portfolio of local development documents, collectively delivering the spatial planning strategy for the whole of the Borough (outside the National Park). The Local Development Framework, when adopted, will replace the Local Plan; but the following Local Plan policies relevant to the Snainton area will be ‘saved’ for the time being :-

Page 22: Snainton Character Appraisal and Management Proposals

E14 - Extensions and Alterations E23 - Detailing in Conservation Areas H3 - Small Scale/Infill Housing Development H12 - The Conversion and Sub-Division of Buildings for Residential Use

These policies are backed up by the following published policy and guidance leaflets and booklets :-

Period Doors Sash Windows Listed Buildings Architectural Ironwork Window Replacement Policy Design of Extensions

The Borough Council take the view that the Development Control procedure should be used creatively to seek the preservation and enhancement of the Conservation Area and seek out opportunities for improvement and added value. Thus the Borough Council will seek to use the Development Control system positively to gain the repair, refurbishment, improvement and enhancement of buildings and their settings.

Current BLP policies provide the statutory basis for Development Control decisions and set out the principles against which proposals will be assessed. The management proposals in this document provide more detailed guidance to residents and potential developers on how those principles will be applied within the Conservation Area, to ensure its character is maintained and enhanced.

The Borough Council firmly believes that sound advice, readily available, and good publicity and information are important to the achievement of good conservation. To this end, a number of guidance leaflets have been produced as set out above.

Further publicity will be produced to meet demonstrable needs, subject to the financial resources being available.

Significant harm can be caused by breaches of Planning Control and those that are clearly unacceptable will be enforced against quickly. A planning application will be invited where breaches of planning control might be acceptable, possibly with amendment. This will enable the issues to be thoroughly tested, including local consultation.

4 ISSUES AND RECOMMENDED MANAGEMENT POLICIES 4.1 Conservation Area Boundary

Despite alterations to features such as windows, the existing Conservation Area is still considered to have Special Architectural or Historic Interest and continues to be worthy of preservation. The appraisal has recognised the wider historic landscape setting of Snainton and therefore it is proposed to enlarge the conservation area to take in the historic field pattern north of numbers 56 to 64 High Street, north of The Peacock to no 80 High Street; east of 9 to 23 Station Road; south of High Street and Yedingham Road from Cliff Farm to adjacent the Coachman Inn and including the latter; south of low Hall, Cliff Grange and Greyholme all on West Lane. There are some small boundary adjustments to better reflect boundaries on the ground. Recommended Management Policy (RMP) 1 The Conservation Area boundary be extended to cover the areas shown on Map 5 along with the minor alterations shown on the same map .

4.2 Demolition of Local Interest Buildings and other Buildings of Townscape

Merit

Section 74 of the Act provides for control over the demolition of buildings in Conservation Areas (subject to various exceptions). Paragraph 4.27 of PPG15 - Planning and the Historic Environment, indicates that: “The general presumption should be in favour of retaining buildings which make a positive contribution to the character or appearance of a Conservation Area”. It goes on to say that proposals to demolish such buildings should be assessed against the same broad criteria as proposals to demolish Listed Buildings (Paragraphs 3.16 - 3.19 of PPG15). PPG 15 therefore sets a general presumption in favour of retaining buildings which make a positive contribution to the character or appearance of a Conservation Area whether or not they are designated as of Townscape merit in this character appraisal and a very good case has to be made for demolition particularly where a building is sound and capable of beneficial use. RMP 2 In line with the guidance in PPG 15, there will be a general presumption against the demolition of buildings in the Conservation Area. Applications for demolition of buildings in the Conservation Area will only be permitted where it can be justified against the criteria in PPG15 and where the applicant has proved that there will be an enhancement to the area. Consideration of proposals against these criteria will be informed by the Character Appraisal with the aim of maintaining the area’s positive characteristics.

4.3 New Development

A Character Appraisal of Snainton CWH/CLS Page 23

Page 24: Snainton Character Appraisal and Management Proposals

Substantial infilling is likely to damage the character of the Conservation Area where there is a looser grain. Saved Policy H3 in the adopted Scarborough Borough Local Plan sets the general principles of small scale/infill housing development within the development limits of settlements. In such areas new housing development will be permitted within the defined development limits of settlements provided that individual proposals meet the following criteria:

(a) the scale, character and appearance of the development should respect the character and physical form of its surroundings;

(b) the vehicular access and services should have the capacity to serve the proposed level of development;

(c) the development should not result in the loss of important public views, public or private open space, landscaped areas, recreational land, and gaps in built up frontages which positively contribute to the character and appearance of the area;

(d) the development should not harm the amenities of nearby residents as a result of overlooking or an overbearing effect on existing property caused by the relationship of new and existing buildings, or disturbance from vehicular movement; and

(e) they are acceptable in terms of policies for the protection of nature conservation interests.

RMP 3 In line with saved Local Plan Policy H3, small scale/infill development will not be permitted within those parts of the Conservation Area outside the currently recognised Development Limits. RMP 4 Development in the following areas may not fulfil some or all of the criteria in Policy H.3 and small scale/infill development will not be permitted in these areas other than in exceptional circumstances:- Land south of High Street between Villa Capri and Cliff Farm Land west of Station Road south of Oakwood/Grosvenor House

A Character Appraisal of Snainton CWH/CLS Page 24

Page 25: Snainton Character Appraisal and Management Proposals

Land south of High Street forming the curtilages of 1 High Street, 2 High Street and Granary Cottage, High Street.

Note:Policy RMP 4 does not imply that other sites within the conservation area and within the Development Limits do meet the criteria set out in Local plan Policy H.3 and are therefore acceptable for development. Proposals brought forward for other land will be determined on their merits in the light of H.3. RMP 5 Any proposal for a development within the Conservation Area should not be brought forward until a design brief has been prepared by or to the approval of the Local Planning Authority and the application should be supported by a Design and Access Statement which should include a full analysis of the surrounding area and justify any variation from the brief.

4.4 Materials and design details

New development should be carried out in walling materials and detailing which are appropriate to the character of the Conservation Area and adjacent or host buildings. The use of contextual innovative design is acceptable but such designs should also demonstrate good neighbourliness in terms of the character of the area and this is best achieved through traditional materials

RMP 6 Materials and details New development should be carried out in an appropriate stone (usually coursed rubble) under clay pantiles roofs and where the development impacts upon a Listed Building the pantiles shall be handmade such as . Eaves and gable verges shall have a plain close finish not timber barge boards or eaves, and gutters shall be directly fixed to the masonry on rise and fall brackets. Widows and doors should be constructed in painted timber with windows set in deep reveal.

4.5 Trees

Section 211 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended, requires that anyone proposing to cut down, top or lop a tree in a Conservation Area must give six weeks notice to the Local Planning Authority. The purpose of this requirement is to give the Authority an opportunity to make a Tree Preservation Order. Trees make an important contribution to the character and appearance of the area and to its setting. Some are covered by Tree Preservation Orders, but it is recommended that the Council undertake a comprehensive tree survey of the whole of the Conservation Area, plus its setting, to determine whether additional Tree Preservation Orders are required.

A Character Appraisal of Snainton CWH/CLS Page 25

Page 26: Snainton Character Appraisal and Management Proposals

RMP 7

In view of the importance of trees within the designated area the Council reiterate to the property owners the requirement to notify the Council of any proposals to cut down, top or lop a tree. The Council will normally resist proposals to cut down a tree in a Conservation Area and where removal is unavoidable replacement trees shall be planted at a ratio of at least 1 to 1. Trees are a particular feature of the Conservation Area, but they mature and die. Therefore, every effort should be made to provide for new and replacement tree planting within new developments. RMP 8 The planting of new and replacement trees should be encouraged where appropriate as part of all developments within the Conservation Area.

4.6 Boundary walls

A significant number of the properties in the Conservation Area have dry stone walls along their highway boundaries and these are an important feature of the area, contributing to its character and appearance. Those along front boundaries are very important to the street scene, helping to delineate the public and private spaces. RMP 9

Dry stone boundary walls should be retained and repaired. Where new development is permitted it will be a requirement that existing dry stone walls area retained (except for a reasonable opening for access) and where a dry stone wall has been lost it will be a requirement that the new development is provided with a dry stone frontage wall. .

4.7 Extensions and Minor Alterations

(a) Extensions and Alterations to Buildings

Any work that materially affects the external appearance of a building requires planning permission, subject to “Permitted Development” rights. Under normal planning control certain works are classified as “Permitted Development” and do not require planning permission. These include small alterations and extensions to dwellinghouses; the erection of buildings; enclosures or pools required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of a dwellinghouse (such as a swimming pool); the provision of hard surfaces, and the erection of and alterations to boundaries. Within Conservation Areas some developments (that in other areas would be “Permitted Development”) are not classified as “Permitted Development”. These include various types of cladding; the insertion of dormer windows; and the erection of satellite dishes on walls, roofs

A Character Appraisal of Snainton CWH/CLS Page 26

Page 27: Snainton Character Appraisal and Management Proposals

and chimneys fronting a highway. Also, within Conservation Areas, the size of extensions that may be erected within specific planning permission is more restricted.

(b) Reinstatement of Features

Many of the buildings within the Conservation Area have lost their original doors, windows and other features. As a result their character has been eroded, together with that of the wider area. As proposals come forward for alterations and extensions to these buildings there may be an opportunity to encourage the reinstatement of such features.

(c) Boundary Walls and Outbuildings

Boundary wall and ancillary structures such as outbuildings are important features of the Conservation Area and in a number of instances they have been altered, or even lost. Therefore, every opportunity should be taken to restore walls and/or hedges to property boundaries. BLP Policy E14 seeks to avoid extensions and alterations which are detrimental to the appearance of buildings because of their location, size or design. In order to safeguard the character of the area, the following policy is proposed :-

RMP 10 Proposals to extend or alter property in the area will be expected to have regard to the following principles :- (a) Extensions (including porches and canopies) on the front or

principal elevations of buildings should be avoided as these elevations have usually been carefully designed.

(b) Extensions at the side or rear are generally to be preferred,

except where these elevations have also been carefully designed or are open to public view.

(c) Extensions should be subordinate to the building to which they

are attached. (d) Use similar or complimentary materials – usually coursed rubble

stone and handmade clay pantiles. (e) Reflect or compliment its style and appearance. (f) The design and siting of buildings and structures within the

curtilage of dwellinghouses respecting the character of the building or the character and appearance of the wider Conservation Area.

A Character Appraisal of Snainton CWH/CLS Page 27

Page 28: Snainton Character Appraisal and Management Proposals

(g) Retention of timber doors and windows which are important to

the character and appearance of the building or the wider Conservation Area.

(h) Buildings which were not originally designed to be painted,

should not be painted.

(i) Avoid alterations to (including demolition of) boundary walls, hedges, gate piers, fences and gates that would be detrimental to the character or appearance of the Conservation Area.

(j) Encourage the reinstatement of removed hedges, boundary

walls and outbuildings.

4.8 Street Furniture

Street furniture can make an important contribution to the character of the area and should be retained. Where they are damaged or decaying they should be replaced on a like for like basis. RMP 11 Street furniture which is characteristic of the area as identified in the character appraisal should be retained, repaired and enhanced.

4.9 Buildings at Risk

There are no Listed Buildings considered to be at risk in the Character Appraisal Study Area.

4.10 Archaeological Issues

New development along High Street could impact upon the preservation of the historic pattern of the built environment and evidence of earlier settlement within the village. In this area new development other than modestly sized extensions to existing buildings should be preceded by pre-determination archaeological evaluations

RMP 12 Any proposal for development on a previously undeveloped site along High Street should not be brought forward until a pre-determination archaeological evaluation has been prepared by a suitably qualified archaeological contractor and the application should be supported by the report and mitigation measures recommended in the report.

Anyone planning a development in Snainton Conservation Area should contact NYCC Heritage and Environment Section for advice on archaeological issues before putting in any planning applications.

5 MONITORING AND REVIEW

In line with BVPI 219b and guidance issued by English Heritage it is recommended that this appraisal be reviewed every five years from the date of its formal adoption. It will need to be assessed in the light of the emerging Local Development Framework and Government policy generally. A review should include the following :- ∙ A survey of the Conservation Area, including a full photographic survey

to aid possible enforcement action. ∙ An assessment of whether the various recommendations detailed in

this document have been acted upon, and how successful this has been.

∙ The identification of any new issues which need to be addressed,

requiring further actions or enhancements. ∙ The identification of any new issues which need to be addressed,

requiring further actions or enhancements. ∙ The production of a short report detailing the findings of the survey and

any necessary action. ∙ Publicity and advertising. This review could possibly be carried out by the local community under the guidance of a Heritage Consultant or the Planning Authority. This would enable the local community to become more involved with the process and would raise public consciousness of the issues, including the problems associated with enforcement.
