Decision details
List of Buildings of Traditional Local Character (Local Plan Policy TB26)
Decision Maker: Interim Director of Environment - Josie Wragg
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
Removal of two buildings from List
Reasons for the decision:
2 buildings have been identified as no longer
appropriate to appear on the list for the following reasons.
1. Shepperlands Farm, Park Lane, Finchampstead – this
building has been ‘elevated’ to a statutory designation
and is now listed by Historic England at Grade 2. The additional
level of protection offered by statutory designation (listing)
makes its inclusion in our local List unnecessary and potentially
confusing. The new statutory list description can be found on the
Historic England website.
2. 1 and 2 Model Farm Cottages, Bath Road, Sonning – this
building has been demolished as part of the 2004 planning
permission (F/2004/1609) to redevelop this site.
Alternative options considered:
The alternative option of ‘Doing
Nothing’ was considered. In both cases of the above
buildings, this was discounted because retention of these two
buildings on the List would result in some confusion and devalue
the List.
Wards Affected: Finchampstead South; Sonning;
Dispensations: N/A
Other reasons / organisations consulted
None declared.
