PUBLIC QUESTIONS Minutes: Ms D Hyslop; Chairman of Brinton Parish Council (BPC) relayed parishioners significant concerns regarding the amendment of the designation of land parcel marked ‘E’ within the most recent Sharrington Appraisal. This area of land had, for the last 40 years, been listed within the Conservation Area and BPC considered it had positively contributed to the character of the settlement and to the surrounding Historic Buildings. BPC considered the land should remain open and undeveloped.
In response, CDTL acknowledged that the Public Speaker was correct in her assessment that the designation of Sharrington was a ‘dispersed settlement’ as it consisted of a series of pockets of buildings within a wider rural landscape. Officers made the balanced view that land parcel ‘E’ did not form an inherent part of the special architectural and historic interest, and concluded, with hindsight, land parcel ‘E’ should have been excluded from the Sharrington Conservation area in earlier iterations of the draft appraisal.
The CDTL stated under the current designation there was effectively a virtual boundary running though a field without any physical features to follow. However, guidance supplied from Historic England advised that a Conservation Area Boundary should be relevant and follow physical features. Officers did not consider that the land was not important, and acknowledged it still offered a strong landscape character in providing a buffer to buildings, and that any development within this space would start to merge and create a ribbon form of development. He advised that in reappraising the area, Officers considered that in granting land a designated Conservation Area status, it must be considered of special architectural and historic interest. Officers contended that that land contributed to the wider setting rather than forming an imbedded part of the landscape.
The Public speaker for BPC was provided a one minute rebuttal. She affirmed the view of BPC and objecting parishioners that the land was important and formed a needed gap between historic buildings.
