Planning Application - Retention of the replacement of dilapidated
greenhouses
This application is the planning application which should be read in conjunction with
the Listed Building application submitted under reference 051352 The proposal
relates to the principle of a green house on this site is long established as shown by
the evidence provided by historic records for the site. The replacement of this
dilapidated greenhouse in a slightly different form is justified given the previous
greenhouse was shedding water into the adjacent historic wall and causing damage
to it. The new greenhouse needs to be slightly higher in order that it does not shed
water onto the wall but rather over the top of it without damaging the historic fabric.
The new greenhouse will not have a material impact on the direct views of the
principal historic assets of the site. Although the greenhouse will be slightly visible
above the brick wall at oblique views from the approach driveway to the main house,
this is considered as a minor part of the view and not considered incongruous within
the context, as a vegetable garden would always have been located hereabouts to
supply the needs of the estate.
While the original greenhouse does not have a front entrance, the scheme seems
justified in order to create a larger access way than previously to allow the use of
modern machinery. The design and access statement gives examples of other
3
greenhouses in historic settings which have an entrance at the front in line with that
proposed.

The application has been sent to CADW who confirm that the application need not
be referred to the Welsh Government and it is now for the authority to determine the
application.
