Planning Application Details - DM/2025/01049
The proposed works comprise the re-reroofing of the outbuildings south west of the main driveway (units 5-10), the partial demolition and internal alteration to units 9 & 10, and alterations to the garden, including a natural swimming pool. Works to Unit 10: The proposed works to Unit 10 returns the original cart shed back into a standalone outbuilding with an ancillary use as an orangerie to Mounton House, the principal dwelling. The works comprise demolition of the recent infill extension between residential buildings Unit 9 and Unit 10, returning the building back to the original footprint and use as an outbuilding. Works to Unit 9: The proposed works to Unit 9 comprise removing the separating floor & stair from the building resulting in a more spacious 2 bedroom unit. The unsightly dormer windows will be removed from both Unit 9 & 10 creating a more attractive & authentic roof scape. Reroofing outbuildings: Replacing the failing artifical Bradstone roof tiles with natural welsh slate from the Cwt-y-bugail quarry selected for its blue-grey tones to compliment the existing buildings. The slates will be installed in random widths with diminishing courses to enhance the quality and appearance of the courtyards. This upgrading of the roofs is considered to be a significant improvement to the character of the outbuildings. Garden Restoration The proposal is the next phase of a site wide garden design by Arne Maynard Garden Design to restore the Parterre Garden and Rose Garden in a scheme befitting of Henry Avery Tipping?s original vision. The proposed landscaping includes a natural swimming pool as a focal point of the garden.
